ARE BLOGS LIKE HOME RADIO STATIONS OF THE PAST?

Those of us who are over 50 remember the home radio
stations. If we didn't have one in our town, then we
heard or read about them. The writer Fannie Flagg
wrote about them in her stories. Midwest was famous
for them.

They had the local news, weather and some gossip
on them. And were on the air for a few hours each
day, except for Sunday, of course. Some times
even having a local talent sing or play an
instrument.

Which some could even say that those radio stations
which closed down by the 60's, has been replaced in
the present and now time, by blogs.

As the majority of the blogs are like mine, mostly
about this and that, that comes to my mind. And
others do report on what is going on in the local
town. Or a hobby that the writer has.

Then of course you have the political and etc.
I wonder, did those local radio stations that were
broadcasting from the home, did they have political
subjects too?
