The leagues appear to be in favor of it. I was watching MLB Network broadcast of a game a couple days ago, and they were posting the odds on if a team would score more or less than 5 runs. They kept referring to those odds every time a run scored. It was the first time I'd seen anything like that during a sports broadcast.

A radio format for 55-72? Could it work?

That reminds me of the "Not Available in Ontario" tag when CKLW would advertise U.S. beer brands.
Irrelevant in the face of arguments of self-righteous legislators on the Christian right and the "woke" left. The former argue that gambling is a sin, the latter that it is a tax on the poor and ignorant.
And yet sports betting is legal in a lot of those states, such as Arkansas, Mississippi, North Carolina, and Tennessee.

DeSantis just signed a bill to allow gambling on the Seminole reservation:
I heard virtually nothing against sports betting in Tennessee, even from the churches (don't think evangelicals don't ever go to the casino). I heard more in Ohio when they were talking about casino gambling.
David, speaking of oldies, from any music type. Have any of these major streaming enterprises compiled a list of the top streaming songs of the boomer generation? How is Satisfaction doing? Hey Jude, you get the idea. Or do any of them even matter any more?
I don't know of any published list. There are paid services that give data on certain streaming sources, but they do not give demographics.
This sounds a lot like Sean Ross' commentaries on "lost hits". You might try contacting him at Radio Insight.
Each streaming site compiles its own lists. I can tell you that Satisfaction is not the top streamed songs by the Stones. Their most streamed song (by a huge margin) is Paint It Black. Very surprised to see that their older songs rate very high. Gimme Shelter is also high on the list.
But there is no demographic profile, which was the question semoochie asked.
In general, streaming does not provide good data on demographics, as paid accounts may be shared and free ones don't get any real data at all.
I didn't ask the question. I responded to it.
On the subject of that song, back in the 80s or early 90s, WTRG Raleigh NC switched to oldies, and to give you an idea of how different the format was back then, whoever wrote the newspaper article said that was the loudest song they would play.
Now that's my kind of oldies format.
Asheville NC has something similar on an HD-2 channel and translator.
The 80's was roughly 40 years ago.
Nevertheless, I'm just saying how oldies sounded then.
So, super oldies oldies?
There are a few stations that do it like that. There was one thread I posted on about Saga's Pure Oldies. WOXL-FM in Asheville NC has an HD channel that does that. 63 Big WAYS outside Charlotte NC (except at night) is another, whose owner just likes the music his stations play and isn't in it for the money.
Fixed.
Maybe use the DTV (sub)channels [MeTV et al.] (at least in the USA) as models for what type of ads >50 year olds respond to (in my case the ads were an early heads up about the Medicare Advantage option, I was able to spend a lot of time researching the issue before I made my selection).

Drug, life insurance companies, and walking devices like "Hurrycane's" don't advertise on radio.
Why, seems to me those type of companies have deep pockets (plus, it's interesting to hear the [sped up/pitch corrected?] disclaimer at the end of the drug ads
)?Kirk Bayne
