Ol George isn't running much these days, but his Uber lib son, Alexander, is. He is still in an advisory position, and they use his moolah.

Mornings in Northeastern Pennsylvania start on WILK-FM with ‘The Bob Cordaro Show’ described as “convincingly conservative, lovingly logical, proudly and passionately patriotic and reliably right”. And then eventually other pseudo conservatives like Ben Shapiro.

But that may be about to change.

WILK is one of a number of Pennsylvania stations owned by Audacy (five in Philadelphia alone), the second largest radio broadcaster in America and it, along with over 200 radio stations across the country, is about to fall into the hands of George Soros in time for the 2024 election..

After Audacy was forced to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, Soros Fund Management bought hundreds of millions of its debt for 50 cents on the dollar and under a bankruptcy agreement will become its largest shareholder with a potential impact on much of the country and its politics.

Audacy claims to be able to reach 200 million people across the range of its properties which include sports, music and talk radio stations, as well as a large digital platform, and while Audacy is not an inherently conservative company, it owns a number of talk radio stations and the talk radio format caters to commuters, early risers and working people which is to say conservatives. And the Soros takeover will give one of the biggest funders of leftist extremism control over not only conservative talk radio stations but those that are, like WILK, in swing states. That includes two other stations in Pennsylvania and many others across the country.

While business is business and the Hungarian immigrant made a fortune as a shrewd investor, radio is not a booming market and there is a pattern here that goes back to 2022 when Soros took over Radio Mambi, a conservative Hispanic radio station in Florida, as part of a network that would give him access to a third of Hispanics in the country.

Some radio hosts left Radio Mambi in protest and formed Radio Americano. Radio Americano, the country’s first conservative Hispanic radio network, formed a partnership with Audacy leasing one of its radio stations. Having taken over Radio Mambi, Soros will now be in a position to also cripple Radio Americano with a significant impact on the upcoming election.

When Republicans take over Democrat radio stations, Democrats don’t take it lying down.

When Caracol 1260 AM, a Latino radio station, was being sold in 2021 to a group that included a conservative Hispanic figure, the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, a Democrat organization, sounded alarm bells and urged the FCC to block the sale.

“To win in 2022 this must stop!” former Rep. Debbie Mucarsel-Powell had argued.

The sale fell through and the Democrats won in 2022.
