the real
issue here.

There are currently more AM listeners under 50 than over 50. That is
per
Arbitron. The issue is that only 20% of all radio listening is to AM,
because in the rated markets there are so few good AM facilities that
can
compete. The ones that can, get great ratings and huge billing.- Hide

Only 20%. Good grief. You're in more trouble than I thought.

The people in trouble are those with AMs with bad signals. Since we only
have about a dozen AMs (including 7 with 50 kw) they are not a major part
of
the business. Our FMs do just fine, too.

Yes but when you're part of an entire industry in decline, it's going
to catch up with you sooner or later. Maybe you should post your
resume on hotjobs or something.


The radio industry is in slow growth, not decline. 2006 ended higher than
any year in the past, and since 1950, radio has grown every year but tow
(2001 and a recession year in the 70's) and you can find a chart of this at
the RAB website.

Certain sectors of radio have sustained double digit growth for the last 20
or so years, and I am in one of those sectors; we were up 12% in revenue in
Q2 of 2007 when the rest of the industry was down about 2%.

I am not going to be spending much time on a resume, methinks.
