Stephanie posted some excellent observations, worthy of discussion and consideration. But you respond with a hackneyed and not-very-funny comeback that has nothing to do with her well reasoned post. At least I don't lie about my education. And let's face it, 99% of the threads you "contribute" to are off-topic. So, you see, you should dismount your high horse. |

Nobody's going to waste their time listening to the snake oil and bible thumper drivel that dominates over the large majority of AM stations. Why do: A) These stations remain on the air, if practically nobody is listening. Either they make money or someone thinks they can make money. B) Why are people paying for time on these things. Do they not know any better? The evangelists and preachers judge media by the amount they get in donations; if the show pays for itself and allows the "word" to be spread, they continue to buy time. Most want not just the time cost but some extra money for their church, though. I keep saying it's time for the paid-programming peanut whistles to go off the air, and open the band up to mega-powered stations doing a contemporary general interest talk formats, no matter what the language (English, Spanish, Korean, etc.). The dominant stations on the band were licensed for population centers and city sizes that existed in the 1930's... the basic plan goes back to 1928. Cities have outgrown all but a few AMs in every market.... sometimes all of them in markets like DC. The whole system is out of date, and a huge cleansing and reallocation would be needed. The AM band and its technology are approaching 100 years of age; the delivery system is defective by today's standards and the allocations are such that in the top 100 markets only about 250 stations are even competitively viable. Music may be dead on AM, but I have a gut feeling that properly programmed talk shows could bring back some attractive demos and revitalize the band quite a bit. AM just doesn't exist in the minds of most under-35 listeners. And experiments like Air America have shown that there is not a deep talent pool of entertaining liberal talk hosts. Get RID of the paid programming. All that is doing is damaging the long-term survival of the band in return for quick immediate profits. I don't think there is a valid model for the bad technical facilities other than brokered time or religion. |

Sports talk, when done locally and done well (see WFAN if you want to know how it's done) is a good revenue getter in the "proper" demographics. Stop targeting news/talk stations exclusively to right wingers or left wingers. Just make them compelling listening for EVERYONE across the political spectrum. Emphasize LOCAL talk. People want to discuss stuff that's going on in their own cities and talk radio is an excellent forum for that. Especially big cities like New York, Dallas or even Denver have plenty of material for people to talk about on the air.

Stephanie Weil New York City, USA EXCEPT THAT Paid - Programming brings in a lot of money to the people paying for the programming. Religious organizatoins garner large sums from their listeners. And that's who the programming targets - their specific listeners. So, paid programming is an easy way for stations to make money, plus the people paying for the programming are reaching the audience they want because that's who listens to their program in the first place. BUT that means that only certain people will listen to a station at certian times. It doesn't build station loyalty or help the other advertisers in other time slots. It does, however, bring in revenue for the station, and for the paid programmers. |
