Oh, I don't know about that. The Bay Boomers are getting more and more power now to do things. But id I ran local station like that, it would not be for ratings or for the love of money.... but for the love of music.
I suppose you think that what the market forces have done to MTV--- is a good thing as well. MTV--- this is what people want ? ? ?
No, that's what people are fed. Then it becomes what they want.
The next 10 years should tell us what kind of "good music" revival is possible.
