When my clients, which over the years have been alot, said they wouldn't run with a station because it was too hard and doesn't reach their target demo, that's more than enough reason not to try an all New Rock station. Not many businesses target 16- 24 year old males.

if that is what butters your bread, so be it.
but remember, no matter how many clients you have and no matter how much they pay for advertising, they are always clueless to what their consumers really want.
i've worked in retail for 4 years and no matter how much store renovate theyt could not get customers into their stores and i've recieved countless comment cards from customers telling me that XXX store should try advertising on more than just the pop station or country or urban stations becaue they did not know of certain sales events that werre advertised on stations they don't listen too.
one of consumers biggest pet peeves i've also seen on store comment cards are certain sales peole who strike those "tell them you heard it on this station to recieve X% off store pricve on this day only".
and skip, i know one of the guys at hot topic, and they are planning to fold because their advertising people at store HQ could not find a suitable local station outside of the tiger to advertise on.<P ID="signature">______________

And how do we know that? Research, man, research! We surveyed 98 People in Sheboygan, Wisconsin and they said that Montgomery listeners are all dumb rednecks that listen to Skynyrd 24/7.</P>

While we're clearing up misconceptions in the Montgomery market, how about the fact that it's Hagler, not Haigler. One broadcasts, the other fixes cars...
As far as a new candidate for ABA President, I think we should vote for my spare tire. It's always there when it's needed, it never lets anyone down, and it doesn't negatively affect the quality of modern radio.
Just a thought...
