Ms. Sage, i've taken alook at the link you provided and in theory, this isn't a bad idea. IMO, I don't think the intent is to force stations to drop popular programming like Rush or Sean Hannity.
Around these areas, most of the small town mom/pop "hometown" radio stations do a great job of providing local information and keeping things local. But the large companies of the industry (i.e. Clear Channel) have for the most part destroyed radio with their cuts and mainstream national music programming that has very little local content (e.g., playing music from local artists), feedback, input, etc.
It's one thing for a small town station to run a satellite country format using for example ABC Radio's Real Counry or Today's Best Country format during the evening, overnight, and weekend hours (most small town stations have some sort of satellite provided music), but the term "voice tracking" (one announcer doing various shows for numerous stations around the country and making it sound local) has destroyed the industry. You would never hear a satellite service doing what i've bolded below, but I have heard a local Clear Channel radio station use this practice.
Here's more on voice tracking:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voice_tracking
Companies that house more than one station can use the technique to stretch out their air staff. For example, the live midday disc jockey on a country station can then record voice tracks for the overnight shift of the sister rock station (often using a different name).
Undoubtedly, the most notorious form of voice tracking involves using out-of-market talent. In this form, the station contracts with a disc jockey in another city (often employed by the same corporation, but sometimes as a freelancer). The outsider will add local color using information provided by the station and news stories gleaned from newspapers available on the Internet. The recorded voice tracks are then sent to the station by shipping tapes, e-mailing the file as audio attachments, FTP, or dedicated networks. DJ's of this style often make a point of trying to sound as local as possible, falsely claiming to have visited a local landmark or attended a station promotional event.
Voice-tracking is a hotly contested issue within radio circles. Many claim that the sense of locality is lost, especially when a station employs a disc jockey who has never set foot in that station's town. There is also concern about voice-tracking taking away job opportunities and providing fewer opportunities for disc jockeys just starting out to build their skills.
