Random thoughts from the 60s and beyond.

Detroiter Fred Jacobs has always been an innovator. Jacobs media was the catalyst in developing the classic rock format that is a ubiquitous performer in almost every radio market. Now, his company, Jacobs Media is launching a web campaign to inform Americans about the free speech implications of the government's anti-indecency efforts. SaveRadioNOw.org is a non-profit compendium of ideas and opinions, resources and research that includes portals to help listeners share their opinions with elected Representatives and FCC Commissioners "There is a large gap between the opinions about indecency that are being expressed by the FCC and Congress and what we're hearing from radio listeners in America," Fred said. "The purpose of this site is to provide education, as well as equal voice for this silent majority to communicate to their elected representatives, and the regulators who are setting the tone." Recently Jacobs Media and Edison Research polled 13,000 Rock Radio and few said that they were offended by what they hear on the radio.
