Give them good programing, and they will listen. You don't need
gimmicks like IBOC.

It's been so long since there was good programming that bean counters and
PD's have forgotten what good programming IS. They think this (still) IS.
Back when these tight formats and formulaic station operation first came in,
of COURSE they became popular. At the time, THEY WERE DIFFERENT. People LIKE
different when it comes to their entertainment. The stuff got old YEARS ago,
but since nothing new is being introduced, nobody knows the difference. It's
"Hey, this stuff worked in the late 50's for Alan Freed, it will work for
us, too." This is how you get 15 clones of reality TV shows that nobody
really watches, they're just too bored to change the channel, since the
other channels have the same garbage on.

Eduardo talks about how bad indy bands are and that nobody listens to them.
I guess he thinks that the Beatles, Stones, Eagles, Bon Jovi and others were
always hot commercial bands.. everybody starts out indy.. the ones that are
given a chance are the ones that make it. The Beatles came up doing dingy
clubs in Germany and worked their way up to command performances before they
were ever signed to a lable. The Eagles used to come and play our little
local venue in Astoria (the National Guard armory) before anyone ever
thought of "Take it Easy." Jon Bon Jovi played small club venues in New
Jersey and the surrounding area for years before he was "discovered".

Suits think the world revolves around them, and that their ideas of how
things work, or should work, are the only ones that matter. Well, there's a
world of people out here that disagree with them.. and they're about to find
that out the hard way.

That's it! 'Eduardo' is a "suit". A faux Hispanic suit, but a suit none the
less.

And, as always, don't let your children attend the Sullivan College of
Technology & Design.

They've hired at least one dufus who once claimed to have a PhD, and who
knows, there may be more dufi there.

It seems to me if Ibiquity filed for Bankruptcy it would be in Federal
Court instead of state court. This case is against someone who didn't
pay off a loan. Who ever suggested that Ibiquity is Bankrupt is being
a little disingenuous and doesn't understand this kind of case. If it
reaches the Feds I would be concerned

Your biggest mistake is asking listeners' opinions about things they
know nothing about. You are supposed to tell them what to like. Not
the other way around.

A. You contributed nothing to the discussion. As usual.

The term has changed in meaning. Community radio today is synonymous, even
at the FCC, with the low power things nobody listens to. It used to be the
term was associated with the couple of dozen stations that people like
Lorenzo Milam got on the air, which nobody listened to. Or the big FMs that
Pacifica got on the air, that nobody listens to.

Your biggest mistake is asking listeners' opinions about things they know
nothing about. You are supposed to tell them what to like. Not the other
way around.

Of course, nearly every station of any significance in the market you are in
does regular listener opinion gathering.

In this instance, the meaning of the word "suit" obviously escapes you, boy!

Figures.

So, while these stations are based on the wants of the general public in
each specific format, you think they suck.

Perhaps you expect things of radio that radio can not give you without
failing in its ability to serve a greater number of people than you alone.

There will always be a few people with tastes that range from quirky to
eclectic, and for whom there will be no radio station fitting their needs.
