I agree, more stations in small towns might go bankrupt. The big city stations will probably always have buyers if anyone still listens to radio. It is so sad they will pay $10-30 million for a license, studio & transmitter, but won't pay for an announcer or program director. And if they took a poll, how many would say they'd be more likely to listen if their radio hissed at them as they tuned between stations? Why do they keep shooting themselves in the foot? I just don't get it. 73, George S., MN

It costs so much to run a radio station and even more for TV, and if ad revenue dries up, there will an increase in silent stations to be sure. Unfortunately many may be in small markets where people need the radio station more than in a city. That might be the only station in town. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin KGED QSL Manager _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: [email protected] _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: [email protected]
