underserved and untargeted audiences

Friday’s Chicago Sun Times had this article.

Chicago takes Pride in gay radio format

February 23, 2007

BY ROBERT FEDER Sun-Times Columnist

Since its fairly modest debut in Chicago last spring, Clear Channel Radio’s full-time format geared to gay and lesbian listeners has become a national phenomenon. Pride Radio, which began on an HD Radio side channel of Top 40 WKSC-FM (103.5), has spread to FM stations and dozens of Web sites and other HD channels from coast to coast.

The format consists of upbeat, dance-oriented music, entertainment news, celebrity gossip from Perez Hilton, fashion tips from stylist Phillip Bloch and “Guest of the Hour” appearances by such personalities as Janice Dickerson and Joan Collins.

The breakout hit is “Pride With Ryan & Caroline,” a two-hour weekly talk show about entertainment. It recently was picked up in Denver; Las Vegas; Hartford, Conn.; Tucson, Ariz., and West Palm Beach, Fla.

“There’s a whole untargeted, underserved gay audience out there that radio is missing,” said Darren Davis, vice president of programming and operations for Clear Channel Chicago. “This show captures it.”

Clear Channel is missing it.  There are whole cadre’s of untargeted and underserved audiences out there.

Since the argument is about, “Homosexuals are born that way and need to be “Served”, what about:

Pedophile Radio, They are born wanting to molest and have sex with little children.  They can’t help it.  Let’s have a radio station with giggling little kids for them.  It’ll be such a turn on.

Adulterers, wife swapping radio, Moans set to music. I can hear it now.  It’s as natural as walking for men to want to have random sex with other men’s wives.  We were born that way.  We can’t help it.

Bestiality Radio, Radio for people who were born longing to have sex with animals.  Some people just have natural proclivity for a good looking dog or sheep.  Programming sexy barks and baaas.  It’ll be big.

By now you are sick to your stomach. “Redlin, you are one weird sick puppy” you are saying.

How is my underserved and untargeted audience any less valid or valuable than the Gay and Lesbian radio station? 

Wait, I just screwed up.  Right now as we speak some suit at Clear Channel is saying, “Hey this crackpot has a great idea.  Where can we line up some sexy sheep?”

Can I have an Amen, brother?

I think the writer gets the implication of men-fucking-men-in-the-butt-is-okay ... once that datum plane between the clearly right and wrong has been broken, society will be in moral freefall.

That’s the plan, and two major evil thinkers, Antonio Gramsci and Georg Lukacs devised it some time ago.

Noone taught you about them, because if they did, you would understand what was happening, and that just won’t do…

By the end of WWI, socialists realized that something was amiss, for the world’s proletariat had not heeded Marx’s call to rise up in opposition to evil capitalism and to embrace communism instead.  They wondered what had gone wrong.

Separately, two Marxist theorists-Antonio Gramsci of Italy and Georg Lukacs of Hungary-concluded that the Christianized West was the obstacle standing in the way of a communist new world order. The West would have to be conquered first.

[NOTE: that is why Leftists hate Christianity so much.]

Gramsci posited that because Christianity had been dominant in the West for over 2000 years, not only was it fused with Western civilization, but it had corrupted the workers class.  The West would have to be de-Christianized, said Gramsci, by means of a ”long march through the culture.”

Additionally, a new proletariat must be created.  In his ”Prison Notebooks,” he suggested that the new proletariat be comprised of many criminals, women, and racial minorities.

The new battleground, reasoned Gramsci, must become the culture, starting with the traditional family and completely engulfing churches, schools, media, entertainment, civic organizations, literature, science, and history.  All of these things must be radically transformed and the social and cultural order gradually turned upside-down with the new proletariat placed in power at the top.

...for great justice

Then don’t listen. I personally find Rush (pill poppin) Limbaugh very nauseous, so I don’t listen. Same goes for Christian or country radio crap. I don’t listen.
If they want to fuck up the butt while on the air, then they should join Howard Stern and move to satellite.

Moral freefall Hmmmmmmmm I don’t think the gay community is to blame for that.

A few more ideas for radio shows

Christian Values Network Your host Jimmy Swaggart and co-host Jimmy Baker
Todays topic: Catholic priests who molest kids.

Congressional Page Talk Radio Your host Mark Foley

Here is just a few:
Republican anti-gay activist Earl “Butch” Kimmerling was sentenced to 40 years in prison for molesting an 8-year old girl after
he attempted to stop a gay couple from adopting her.

Republican Party leader Paul Ingram pleaded guilty to six counts of raping his daughters and served 14 years in federal prison.

Republican election board official Kevin Coan was sentenced to two years probation for soliciting sex over the internet from a 14-year
old girl.

Republican politician Andrew Buhr was charged with two counts of first degree sodomy with a 13-year old boy.

GOP = Grand Old Pedophiles

"In-Stat: Digital Radio Set to Take Off”

“In 2006, 73 percent of respondents to an In-Stat U.S. consumer survey were aware of HD Radio on some level.”

“Sirius, XM, and HD: Consumer interest reality check” (Alexaholic)

“While interest in satellite radio is diminishing, interest in HD shows no signs of a pulse.”

http://www.hear2.com/2007/02/sirius_xm_and_h.html#comments

This just confirms, the lack of interest for HD Radio, on Google Trends:

“Rethinking AM’s Future”

“Only 175 or so AM stations have even licensed AM-HD. For a number of reasons, quite a few have tried it and taken it off the air, or so the anecdotal evidence suggests. Ibiquity no longer reports in its public summaries whether a station is on the air.”

For now, HD Radio/IBOC is dead.

I just think you’ll get fewer listeners, since there are more gay and lesbian people than there are pedophiles and bestiality proponents.
