I am interested in the "no young viewers" concept.
Is he looking for a channel, a venue that already has young viewers?
Does he think he can attract young viewers but Fox puts limits on him that make that impossible? Is he looking for a venue that allows him to prove HE can draw or build a youthful audience?
Talk Radio and it's cousin, cable channels that talk, are reported to reach an aging audience. The style caters to the older audience that is already firmly attached to an ideology and these venues must throw red-meat to that audience, and do a minimum of things to drive off the "fixed opinion audience".
But in following the the two main areas of ideology: the political and the spiritual.... there appears to be great interest in these topics among young people. Take a look at the "mega church" phenomena. That is definitely a youth oriented movement.
If you were a Glenn Beck or other political activist and you took the time to put the mega-church movement under the microscope for analysis, what would it look like when you tried to apply the methodology to reaching inquiring young political minds? Would it be a video channel? Would it involve a building and music? Would it center around a Podcasting format? Would it look like the Joel Osteen "empire"?
If he wants to invent a whole new paradigm, Texas has to be the center of the universe for such an effort. Many of the role models are based in Texas to Colorado over to the southeaster shore. He probably needs to stay out of the Utah-Idaho area where traditional Mormon style might push his new paradigm in directions that draw the older audience rather than the younger audience.
Oh.... sorry. I was just thinking out loud... or in keystrokes... while my imagination went wild. Maybe someone else can add to the image of a new youthful movement/venue/ideology.
