Default Eduardo - Serious Question For You


"Dave" wrote in message
...

You are incapable of doing it because you work for a bloated corporation
who wants to make money. Radio should be a public service that hopefully
turns a profit, not a sour milk cash cow.


As was proven when the FCC mandated content percentages and such, listeners
stayed away from any time period where such programming ran. When radio is
run as a public service, there is little listening. The story of the BBC,
Radio Luxembourg and the pirates shows that the BBC, a venerable public
service, did not satisfy the needs of most Brits; the Bebe had to add new
services and Britain had to allow commercial radio because even the
politicians realized that the public was very unhappy.

It's sort of KPFK vs. KIIS. The interest in what you crave is miniscule.

Most of the world has national radio, not a lot of local content... because
it's been seen that the FCC localism policy that goes back to the 30's was
based on a fundamental misunderstanding of what listeners wanted.
