Powell, I guess I have a different look on it. My feeling is we have way too many stations on the air in the US anyway. We do not need thousands of stations that few listen to. There always will be a station or two in every market. Just not 10 stations which we do not need. If some go bye bye, well then they were not solid enough to make it anyway. Hiring some school kid to ride herd at minimum wage over night is going to bankrupt a station? Well, if the station is that weak then they should not be on the air period. I was for the old rules of a station having a year or two worth of $$$ to operate. Clatsop Country did quite well with 3 AM stations on the air for years. It had no issues. Face it, so many stations do not even serve the locals. All they run is satellite programming 24/7.
