Guest
Hell, I'm bored, so I figured I would expand on my previous post and list the audience that each station in Richmond attracts

Feel free to comment or complain on my stereotypes and please help me fill in the blanks

88.9: Every person driving a Volvo or Saab
89.7: People who go to a church with more than five words in the title
90.5: Those who are still waiting in gift return lines at Target
92.1: ??
93.1: ??
94.5: See previous post
95.3: 2 out of every 3 rednecks, and no listening audience Sunday afternoons
96.5: Every laborer over 40
97.3: The people in downtown who are "with it" and detest the "Evil Radio Empires"...or those who voted Nader last election
98.1: SOCCER MOMS!
98.9: SOCCER DADS!
100.5: With this current signal, very little...but I hear they're putting in a translator to capture the audience at Hollywood Cemetary
100.1: ??
101.1: All emo kids in Chesterfield and Henrico Co. High Schools
102.1: Every third redneck, psuedo-metal heads, and mallgoths in a 40 mile radius. Captures a 98.4 share Sundays during NASCAR
103.7: Every dentist office in town
104.7: Every 'urban' hair care salon
105.7: Every 'urban' office in town
106.5: Every child in the Chesterfield and Henrico school system (minus the emo kids, psuedo-metal heads, mallgoths, and the 60 teenagers eating at the Chesterfield Town Center food Court)
107.3: ???

OK...let the fun begin!

X,

I see it's been several days and no one has answered your post. Well, it's like when somebody says something hilarious in a radio station. You learn you are usually wasting your time to try to top the line because you usually can't.

I find some truth in all your descriptions but especially love the one's for Q94, The Planet, K95 and the X. Great job and I got a lot of laughs out of it, either showing or telling co-workers some of the descriptions.

By the way, what are "emo" kids?

True...I suppose I'm sort of a geek in the sense that I actually laugh at radio stations...whatever. I suppose that's what happens to your sense of humor after being in a studio 5 hours a day for over two years :)

I can't really describe them: A lot of people call them the "new" goth. Wikipedia should help you...
