Default d'Eduardo : So your 'Answer' is that +20% of All Adult Radio Listeners Don't Count : And Corporate Media Actively Discriminates Against Them as a Common Business Practice

Sure Sound Like An Extreme Case of Neglect and
Failure To Serve The Public Interest of the +20%
of the US Adult Pupolation over the Age of 55.

There is virtually no money available from advertisers for audiences over
55. Plenty of formats that appeal primarily under 55, like country, Urban
AC, AC, classic rock, classic hits, etc., also appeal to many over 55's but
stations with that audience get little benefitt from the older listeners.

=IF= These were Hispanic Radio Listeners and they
simply made up 5% or more of any Local Community :
You would be Demanding Equal Rights to Serve Their
Needs as Non-English Radio Listeners.

There is no Hispanic agency money for anything over 49. This is about
advertisers making investments and expecting a return on them.


Sure Sound Like Their Is Some Sort of Civil Rights
Case in There for English Speaking Radio Listeners
Over the Age of 55 Against You and Your Licensed
Big Media Corpotations for Failing to Serve the Public
Interest of +20% of Your Communities.

There is no law that stores have to stock items that have little or no
demand. This is the same case. Radio can't serve teens for the same reason.

-translation- F*uck the Radio Listeners This Is A Business.

It's much simpler... if a radio station programming does not attract
listeners that advertisers want to reach, it either is sold to someone else
or it changes programming. The government in the US does not intervene and
has not for about 40 years, in licensee decisions about program formats.
