Kenny, there are (at least) two schools of thought concerning air talent on a catalog-based (oldies, classic hits, classic rock, etc) station.
One is to match the era of the music with people who were on the air at that time, familiar voices playing familiar songs. Clearly that is what you think is the way to go.
Another is to balance the older music with people who provide a contemporary delivery, a complete break from the past, a conscious differentiation from the era of the songs. It may be that this is what GM has in mind.
Each approach has its merits. In other situations and in other markets, each approach has had its successes and its failures.

I have the feeling you think that "32 or younger" is GM's shortcoming. You seem to be saying it again and again almost as though it were a personal insult.
I would guess, therefore, that you are way beyond 32 yourself. That's not meant to be an insult, of course, but it may affect the way you are seeing things.
That doesn't mean you're wrong and GM is right, in my opinion, but it also doesn't support the oppposite conclusion either.
Just a thought.
