Cincinnati gets several more religious radio stations

It's become impossible to quantify how much religion there is on the Cincinnati radio dial - but to be fair, Cincinnati isn't alone in this regard.

On Sunday, the ClassX simulcast group switched its format from classic rock to "Christian classic hits." The stations consist of noncommercial FM's in Miamitown, Crittenden, and Waynesville, plus 2 low-power FM's.

The stations' owner had said that ClassX would be switching to a format that no other Cincinnati stations had - but there were already too many religious stations to count. Some of them air music, and some of them air right-wing garbledygoop, but in total, there were a surprisingly high number of religious stations for there being such a limited amount of space on the dial.

This reams a gargantuan Bazooka hole through the bleatings of those who claim the far-right 1996 Telecommunications Act made broadcast content more diverse.
