You are a tool and a robot. I am in your so-called ''metro survey
area'' but I am way out of the coverage area of all but 2 local
stations at night, therefore I am part of the half of the population
that lives outside the suburbs.


Half the population lives in the top 50 Arbitron metros. Just the top 50.
And 82% live in the 300 rated markets.

I believe that you have mentioned living in or about Canyon Country, CA.
You
can not get many stations because of terrain obstructions, but you
certainly
have Internet and other options.

How many people watch TV at night? How many don't? How many of those
that don't listen to the radio? How many of those listen to AM radio?


Of those who are not at work or sleeping in 6 PM to Midnight, virtually
all
watch TV. On the other hand, less than 7% are listening to radio at night,
and less than 1.3% are listening to AM.

Until last night, the flamethrowers ruled the Bohemian airwaves, for
people who aren't slaves to the idiot box.


Bohemia is in Europe, where some nations have decided to simply eliminate
AM.

1.3% is 4 million people. Really smart people who enjoy the simple
pleasure of listening to good radio.


Considering that nearly everyone has a local station or stations to listen
to, and most night AM radio save sports is Coast to Coast drek, it's hard
even for me to say night AM radio is much good. Of course, the reason why
not much is invested in it has to do with the fact that advertisers like to
reach radio audiences in the daytime, and TV viewers at night, so most ads
that you hear (except sports) are bonus spots or freebies.

He's certainly not mastered the logic of Mexican being a nationality
rather than a race.

And you do not understand that many words have either various meanings or
shades of meaning. In fact, usage defines meaning.... "human race" is
technically incorrect... humans are a species, but contemporary usage has
made this acceptable.


The term Chifako will soon become acceptable! It of course describes a jackass
who tries to pass himself off as being Hispanic and was of course born in the
USA.

Once again, "Hispanic" is a culture, not a nationality or race. A person
immersed for most of their life in a culture becomes part of it. One of the
benchmark studies has to do with a child of European origin who somehow was
found and raised in a primitive indigenous culture and was, except for skin
color and such, 100% of that culture when discovered by explorers.

Or, as a cultural anthropologist I knew in Latin America said, "language
defines culture. So the language a person swears in when they hit a finger
with a hammer or the language they make love in defines their culture better
than any indicator."

So, what you are saying is that you immersed yourself in the culture of
pathological lying.

Priceless!

You go boy!

Even if that is true, it in no way entails that none of them expired
while you were making your last post. You may understand the
dictionary definition of "median" (we know how fond you are of your
dictionaries), but you've obviously not mastered the logic of the
term.


I suppose someone could have died while making the post, but if we are going
to count car accidents and heart attacks, then any medium, be it the
Internet, WiMax, Radio, TV or talking books could have lost a few users in
that time span.


Sure. They may have gained a few as well. That's precisely my point:
there is no relation of entailment.

And you do not understand that there is such a thing as the incorrect
use of an expression, including the widespread misuse of expressions.

Also, previously you were arguing that it's proper to speak of 'race'
whenever people share some property in common. Well, surely being
human is something that all human beings have in common. So, by your
own standards, the human race is precisely that.

Ah, but by your standards it surely is a race. You are the one who
argued that people are of the same race whenever they share some
property in common. If, as you say, hispanics share a culture, then....

That is how the OMB defines it, and, thus the Census Bureau.

Well, I suppose there's no COMMERCIAL service of any kind unless
there's profit made. Come to think of it, this is precisely the lesson
AM HD broadcasters are about to learn....the hard way.


Since there are literally only a handful of non-commercial AMs, this
discussion has to be about commercial radio.


This is incorrect. The fact that there are currently only a handful of
non-commercial AMs does not entail that there could not be a greater
number of non-commercial AMs. To discuss not only what AM is but the
ways in which it could change in the future is perfectly legitimate.
This is precisely the problem with you and the other proponents of AM
HD: instead of looking to the future, you instead look to the past.


By the way, while you were posting here, more of your listeners
expired. Guess the colloidal silver didn't reach 'em in time.


"My" listeners have a median age of about 33. None of them are expiring
from
old age.


You obviously don't understand the meaning of "median".


Half are under the median, half are over. Practically none are over 55.- Hide quoted text -
