Aww this read made me sad but I do like his ending. I hope it comes to pass as he imagines it but time will tell I suppose. I'd miss #KYW if it went but as I say that I feel hypocritical because I spend more time listening to radio from the UK than my local area so there we are.

I dunno. Those American news stations are quite superficial. They seem usually to operate on a 20 minute clock. I can see AI making this format much easier to produce. The algorithm can pick the stories, parse them for good broadcasting copy, and put them in a queue to be read by AI using good news voices that have been licensed. You would have live talent on a retainer for big stories that require intensive coverage.
