You're as evasive as our resident faux Hispanic, 'Eduardo'.

And you continue to cling tenuously to a failed narrative. I dare you
to go 24 hours without listening to WABC (or any other Limbaugh/Hannity
venom spewer).

Or maybe the troops just like Rush?


Isn't it amazing that never occurs to programmers?


When nearly nobody in the 18-34 demo in the US listens to Rush or any
other
political talker, why would they listen when abroad?

Maybe they want the truth from home.



From Limbaugh? That's an entertainment program, not a news show.

Sure does contain a lot of news, and current events, Mr. Faux Hispanic!

Consider that there are a number of things that are not like things at
home. One is that the listener him/herself is different. They're
committed. They're focussed. They're trained. They've volunteered to
serve. They're politically active at the most basic level. They're less
concerned about the fluff that dominates the evening news than they are
defending the fundamental freedoms that permit the behaviours that lead to
the fluff that dominates the evening news.

That takes them off most squares of the psychographic grid. Hometown
demography doesn't apply. They're a different type of people with
listening tastes and habits that reflect a different type of lifestyle.

Another consideration is that there are dramatically fewer choices for
listening in theatre. Unlike you and me, who have a dial full of
selections, troops in theatre have a fraction of the offerings. They
listen, as you say, for fresh truths from home. Not for the latest George
Michael release.

And politically, they tend to a more conservative path. Rush is big with
military, as a whole, regardless of demography.

Programming AFN is not like programming WKSC.

As past part of a comittee to get two AFRTS stations in Puerto Rico closed
(they were) I find that statement disingenuous. Very often, the AFRTS
offerings seem demographically inappropriate and way removed from the tastes
of the average recruit.

Drop Gleason into a Marine base in-country and he'd get a dose of
reality he assiduously avoids in his current position.


If you were to go there, you would find little use of AFRTS radio, and lots
of iPods and MP3 players.

Truth is not exclusive to News. Many times it's anathema.

You're contradicting yourself, again. If they're not listening, they
can't be calling.
"Youngest demos" for talk is generally 35-44.


Nice evasion.

Nope. Truth. When a format is typically 25+, the young part is 35-54.




You still evade the point, David.

Many containing Limbaugh and Hannit podcasts.

You're applying hometown demography to a unique psychographic makeup.
