for some strange reason, the radio insultants think that anyone over 50 is an old fart, on SSI, riding around in a Hoveround singing "go go go...in my Hoveround! All over town" and REFUSES to program major market radio for them. Stupid idiots, these are the demos who usually have LOTS of DISPOSABLE cash and time. Why is this? My dad is an example at 65 he sure aint sitting on his ass or putting around in an electric chair!He is retired and travels monthly. Lots of disposable income. More active physically than me. He stopped listening to radio about 15 years ago. He cannot stand WSB-AM which he used to listen to. I asked him why "too much talk". He used to listen to WPCH and WSB-FM growing up, and WQXI when they used to play "golden oldies"- now it's all CD and MP3 for him. another listener with big bucks lost because radio abandoned him.
I would love to listen to a station like that surfer, and I'm only 32. I grew up raised on radio, since age 4 the first thing I remember was Mel Cargle on Z-93 playing the Bee Gees and Earth Wind and Fire. When I was in elementary school I remember meeting Christy Tener from 94Q, even listened to WPCH-FM at night and met Bob Myers, Jim Clark, and Vance Dillard. I think Vance hung around until CC destroyed WPCH in the 90's. These were all great ATLANTA sounding FM's. We don't have a station of that caliber anymore, Dave FM is the only thing that somewhat resembles what radio around here used to be, and that's the only reason I tune them in.
