America’s second-largest radio broadcaster could soon emerge from bankruptcy with a new shareholder: Soros Fund Management.
According to Bloomberg, the investment firm founded by the Trump-hating billionaire George Soros has acquired $400 million of Audacy’s highest-ranking debt.
“The decision by our existing and new debtholders to become equity holders in Audacy represents a significant vote of confidence in our company and the future of the radio and audio business,” Audacy wrote in a statement.
Audacy owns 235 radio stations in 48 media markets across the US and is the second-largest broadcaster behind iHeartMedia.
“Under Audacy’s bankruptcy plan, existing shareholders would be wiped out and high-ranking creditors would be repaid with stock in the restructured company. The proposal requires bankruptcy court approval,” Bloomberg noted.
An insider familiar with the matter, who identified as a Republican, expressed grave concerns that Soros might be acquiring the stake to sway public opinion ahead of the 2024 presidential election, according to The New York Post.
“This is scary,” the source said.
Another source explained to NYPost that Soros’s stake equals about 40% of the company’s senior debt, although not a majority, and could yield effective control of the broadcaster when it emerges from bankruptcy.
Last summer, Soros joined a group of lenders, including Fortress Investment Group, who paid $350 million for bankrupt Vice Media – a leftist media outlet that once commanded a $6 billion valuation.
Unfortunately, broadcast radio and TV are in significant decline. Suppose Soros believes he can wield propaganda power through acquiring legacy media. In that case, he should reconsider the target audience demographics—hardly anyone with a smartphone and computer tunes in regularly to the radio.
Also, Audacy better watch out so it doesn’t ‘Bud Light’ itself among conservatives.

George Soros did more to hurt the Jewish community in Hungary than anyone else outside of an SS uniform….
… and he was especially nasty in ‘the camps’, where he allegedly ratted out the wealthy jews’ artwork and other wealth to the Germans in exchange for —
Gyiogy Schwartz did what all filthy cowards do when a moral choice is presented in trying times.
He chose satan.
George was quoted in a interview that ratting out his people was “the best time of his life”
Why would you believe words that came from George Soros mouth? Did an ulterior motive not occur to you? Have any of us seen a National Socialist gas chamber which would work in the real world? Let’s tell the truth here. Cause Soros, mainstream media, big tech, and mainstream pseudo academia will not tell anything but the opposite of the truth.
Do any serious people listen to radio for anything but the weather anymore? For me the last time was waaay back when Limbaugh just started and was a novelty. I quickly found him to be a corporate blow job and spit him out. Thus the radio for me went the way of the frigidaire.
Serious people aren’t the problem.
…I guess it’s better to listen to something streamed on the ‘net… No bias there… Nope… None at all… ‘Same goes for TV, streamed or otherwise…
As for Rush, like him or not, his predictions had a startling record of being right…
Ron Paul’s were better.
Ron is a studious but humble man who knows that no one is omniscient. Rush wasn’t fit to wash Ron’s car.
Agreed. Limbaugh was a Bush family shill. Dr. Paul was in a class of his own.
your point?
I really miss Rush. Is there a way to give someone stage 4 lung cancer.
If I could only make certain people go away the would would be a better place until the next batch.
Rush Limblow.
Rush Limpdick.
Your assholeness never fails to hemorrhoid it’s way onto my screen. Get a rag and wipe yourself off jerkoff.
why does everyone know who Rush was , but on one knows who you are?
Why does everyone know who hitler is but no one knows who u are. What is your point ?
The Pacifica radio stations of the late 60’s/ early 70’s comes to mind….
You can look outside and see the weather. Do you believe your eyes or one of the models from multiple continents? As James said in another post, the model predicted multiple inches of snow and he had one inch.
So you’re counting on big tech to spoon feed you the correct answers? How is AI working out for finding truth, reason, and facts?
Not even for the weather.
“…Soros might be acquiring the stake to sway public opinion ahead of the 2024 presidential election…”
If you need to be “swayed” at this stage of the game, you must be one of those “voting dead” that seem to reanimate every “Election” Day…
…The need for pirate radio has returned…
For those of us who see the difference between Observed Reality and the BS they try to tell us Reality Is, no amount of propaganda decides anything for us. It’s everyone else who is easily led who makes stupid choices that drag us into the void with them that is the problem.
I’m sure you meant to say “Fortunately,…”
Damn. Sorry B-MC. I should have scanned the comments before I posted mine. Ya beat me to it.
Great minds think alike, and all that.
Mea culpa.
How they took control of the media through deregulation….
(excerpts from wikipedia)
The Telecommunications Act of 1996 is a United States federal law enacted by the 104th United States Congress on January 3, 1996, and signed into law on February 8, 1996 by President Bill Clinton.
The 1996 Telecommunications Act removed all national and local restrictions on national ownership that specified the number of stations one company could own in a set market. Before 1996, a company was prohibited from owning more than 40 stations, and from owning more than two AM and two FM stations in one market. The bill covered a wide range of formats and was the first time the Internet was included in broadcasting and spectrum allotment.
In the 2003 edition of his book A People’s History of the United States, historian Howard Zinn named the act as a significant factor in the loss of alternative and community media, and possibly the loss of public control of information:
Don’t forget the Smith Mundt modernization Act of 2012. That’s the clincher how they stage all the fake shootings and parade attacks etc.
Like Blow Job Bill repealing The Glass-Steagall Act of 1933 , which then allowed the huge crash of 2008. And I think the Stock Market isn’t a user friendly hustle & bustle anymore; it’s just a big open room of humming computers fleecing & skimming suckers for TPTB.
https://www.thedailybeast.com/huma-abedin-reveals-relationship-with-george-soros-son-alex-soros
Apparently after being married to Anthony Weiner, she dated actor Bradley Cooper. And now Alex Soros. So, she likes Jewish guys.
I though Huma was the carpet that HiLIARy like to munch?
Who is saying she didn’t?
Apparently, she has moved on and has yet to commit Arkancide. Must be a new carpet in Chappaqua.
Not a snowballs chance in hell he’s dating that old hag. And he’s gay as hell.
Why is it so many Italians (bradly cooper 1/2) look quasi-jewish? Besides the obvious.
Apparently, Cooper isn’t Jewish. Never met a gentile Cooper, but that’s just me.
So they can infiltrate and hide in plain sight. Like Bill Gates, the Bush clan, Cheney, FDR, Stalin, and Hillary. Frank Marshal being Obama’s real father makes Barry O 3/4 descendent of the tribe.
Is it 1994? Who listens to radio?
Sheep.
You’re obviously not an OTR truck driver who spends upwards of 13 or 14 hours a day behind the wheel …
Jews buying media to propagandize say it isn’t so !
Masses buying disinfo again? Say it isn’t so!
Yep.
When most the comms go down.
The only info will come via radio.
I stopped listening to radio in my car when 8 track players became a thing. Since then, my choice has been whatever media player my car has over any radio station, when I want to hear music while driving. Soros’ ownership of radio stations will have an effect, I realize, because so many people still listen to radio while driving. This seems like one of those things that ain’t worth getting worked up about, at least to me.
Are you Sirius?
Nice, Tex. 😉
Ha! No, but I tried XM for a few months before the “merger”. /attempt at humor
Meanwhile, George’s son Alex is apparently involved with ex-hillary brat, Huma Abedin … who has been involved with the Soros clan since before the ’16 election …
Funny how that happens …
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-13084859/anthony-weiner-wife-huma-abedin-dating-alex-soros.html
Huma swings both ways, apparently.
She apparently likes her some micro jew. She was on Weiner’s schmekel too
I have news for you. Iheart is nearly as bad. They sold out, running Phucking Pfizer ads on their Nationwide network. That anybody still listens to Iheart stations of any genre is a sad testament to America. Notwithstanding Soros, we are already surrounded on nearly every media platform there is. They have already eon and we are effectively running a guerrila campaign now, like French resistance against an installed Govt.
Pharma is the largest purchaser of media advertising in the country.
So build campaigns to wean people off pills. That’s how you stop pharma advertising: make their return on spend rather negative….
I think soros is a made up character like Zuckerberg, Elon musk, or been dead awhile. They always have ready made scapegoats.
Couldn’t happen without FCC approval…and by extension the approval of their masters, the DNC.
Sigh…..,tis so easy even a caveman can figure it out,don’t like what your hearing/change the fucking channel!
UnfortunatelyThankfully, broadcast radio and TV are in significant decline.FIFY
Soooo, NOW i’m trying to convince people of my heterosexual proclivities, By ‘Dating’ hillary’s wife?
I listen to Coast to Coast A.M. on a midnight drive. Other than that, it’s for the traffic report. The rest is white noise and blah blah blah.
the dark lord and his son
Will this have any impact on ham radio? When it comes to old anus eyes and his bolshevik crew, think bigger on the potential damage.
If people think that liberal talk radio would make any headway nowadays, I would remind them of the failed experiment about 10 years ago of Alan Combs’ foray into liberal radio talk. Failed then, failed now.
Sometimes I think (hope) that the more the left over-plays its hand, the sooner we will be rid of them.
It’s not scary what’s scary is All the DAs he backed throughout the US including Red States where All criminals in those places regardless of petty crime, assault, rape & murder have NO Bail – essentially they get off Scott free – wait until government is so Broke they can’t pay the Prisons then the Prisoners will go Free + add the Military age Scum from every Shithole on Earth walking freely into the Disunited States of UnAmerica – Now That’s Scary!
Who listens to radio?
Granted, this isn’t good, but who gets news from the radio? Leftists who like NPR? What’s Soros want next, the telegraph lines?
People still listen to the radio?
George can do what he wants but people already can see what is going on. To later. G
So where is the FCC on this? Monopoly?
since 1969 (?) , the communications laws make jew monopolies of radio/TV good…
oops, it was The Telecommunications Act of 1996
People like George Soros and son is why assassination was invented.
Alex wants DJT assassinated. Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein Prov 26:27
TPTB assholes killed radio; Soros will only make it worse.
Another thought. Son looks so happy pushing it in his dad. Inbreeding for sure.
Yet contrary to the actual law the FCC would crush me if I started broadcasting locally with a micro radio station.
You’re not in their Club and you might broadcast Truth.
