I'm curious about the demographic that occupies these groups.


I'm 51 and have lived in the Bay Area all my life. I studied
Broadcasting at CSM back in the 70's, when they still had a hands on
program with Dan Odum. KCSM was on channel 14 and still in Black and
White. KCSM-TV had the ability to go color, at least on a part time
basis, but they purposely stayed in Black and White to give the
illusion of broadcast poverty, in order to help secure a grant to
increase power and to change frequencies to channel 60. The plan
worked remarkably well. They got everything they wanted, but the
students ended up getting shafted. Luckly that happened after I
graduated!
