Talking with a James O’Keefe, Alex Jones asserted he has been picked up by some 50,000 watt stations.<\/p>\n
“We are on a lot of 50,000 watters – a lot of new stations right now, like now 20 new stations in the last month”<\/p>\n
Is that true?<\/p>\n
First thing to know is that a 50 kw FM station is a relatively modest station, unlike an AM class A station which is a monster. Because of GCN’s business model, GCN does not require affidavits stating that affiliates actually carry the shows. It only says they “may ask” stations for a monthly report. I don’t see any affiliate lists anymore on the GCN web site.<\/p>\n
Basics of GCN affiliation<\/a> GCN charges the stations nothing to use the programming. The only real thing the station agrees to do is to let the network ads play. GCN’s owner and general manager is a man named Ted Anderson. He also owns Midas Resources<\/a>, which sells the health supplements sold by Alex Jones. For about the past month, Jones regularly “skips” network breaks – it’s clear he is getting pushback lately for not selling enough colon cleanser pills. Anderson’s company also sells gold and silver coins, or at least used to.<\/p>\n
