In fact, 18-49 is replacing 25-54 as the prime sales demo... because
that is where the best consumers are.


Because that is where you find the highest percentage of dumbasses.

No, because that is where brand preferences are formed.

I am over 50 and I am not a consumer. Therefore, your twisted version
of radio chooses to not provide me with any service. Therefore I have
no reason to support you and will do whatever I can to get even with you
for attempting to marginalize me.

Commercial radio can not provide people over 55+ with a specifically
targeted service because there is no revenue to support it.

If you want to protest, don't buy P&G products, etc. It's the major
advertisers who determine this, not stations.


I don't buy any name brand **** except maybe Shell gasoline. The worse
the product the better the ad campaign.

You wouldn't know "service" if you tripped over it.


The only name brand I'm loyal to (and that only when I'm in the mood for a
cola) is Pepsi. Anything else I consider what's on sale (gee, don't they
advertise those on the radio?) or what looks or sounds good at the time.
I'm set in my ways as to the sorts of things I like or don't like, but am
always open to trying most anyone's version thereof (if I'm in the mood for
seafood, an ad for Mrs. Paul's or Gorton's or Long John Silver's could push
me in that direction..)

Here is South Florida they were going to close Long John Silver's, but
they decided to redo them, thank God, and update the menus. I still
like the original with a lot of extra "crispies" with the fish! They
still have a lot of Arthur Treacher's/Miami Subs/Kenny Roger's
all-in-one restaurants, though I think the Kenny Roger's are toast. I
still think of the Seinfeld episode, "The Chicken Roaster" when I
think of Kenny.
