Anyone hear of this before? For 25k you could own a station and I guess broadcast whatever you want. Imagine the possibilities.

Take up a collection and create an ATOT station. Even thought I dont think it would be helpful to actually see the people who post here.

within FCC guidelines

and you will have ongoing operating costs (electricity, maintenance, etc) so if you don't make any money from advertising (due to no viewers) , then you'll need to feed your money pit from other $ sources

well I assume that advertising would drive your station as it does the big networks. You would have to find someone to support your station if you werent independently wealthy.

This reminds me of the PTV episode on Family Guy
