Was it really THAT non-existent? The BMS Gone?

This is "Be Kind to Old Farts Week" so please, no blasting those of us who've been around the block a time or two. Just spoke with two other long-time radio guys here in Dallas. All three of us are late 50s-early 60s. We all wondered the same thing: Who is Billy Madison???????? I'm sure he must be a talented personality. But I have never seen his name on a billboard, in a TV spot, or any promotion, and don't have the foggiest idea what station he worked for. I do listen to the radio and try to keep abreast of current comings and goings and who's getting hired and fired. Usually, I either personally know the guy or woman who's in the news, or have worked with him/her, or at the very least, have heard of them before. Billy Madison??? I have don't a clue. And the threads I read so far have given me no real information. Who is this guy? Where did he work?

You've got to realize that this board is extremely white, and extremely old. So there's a ton of threads about shows interesting to old white folk (Multiple threads about Brad Barton, Neil Sperry, Bizradio, talk shows, etc) but very little about stations that might dream of appealing to ayounger demo.

Little to no responses to a thread about Mix's music, no threads about i93's debut of a morning show to go head-to-head with Kidd, and damn sure no threads about the Hispanic stations that are now eating up a HUGE share of the 25-54 numbers...

Sure there's the occasional foray into the non-white, non-old subjects (Hi Bucwhyl and Salemjedi, how you guys doing???) but this board will salivate over a Russ Martin rumor or spend hours discussing a station (1360) and Jocks (P&K, BDH, etc) that get absolutely no ratings, and absolutely miss huge stories right in front of their faces....
