The new owner stated in the article that he had an "economic epiphany" while shopping for potential advertisers for thee new radio station, and then went on to say that only "84 year olds" listen to polka music and that they are "non-consumers." Really?

It appears that the new owner is shopping for advertisers that share his same sort of disrespectful attitude.

And aren't the airwaves already saturated with enough radio stations playing the oldies? Good luck with that!

It is my opinion that as he moves on with his new venture, he might be advised to try to avoid stepping on toes, and if he intends to have a shot at success, he'd be wise to follow Jerry and Karen Schneider's lead and play the genre of music that some of us really enjoy. Then, if he's lucky, he, too, could have the potential to establish a group of loyal listeners like Jerry has.

As for me, well, I doubt I'll be tuning in to that "new" station anytime soon when/if it hits the airwaves. I've made the move to that other radio station that had the good sense to include The Jerry Schneider Show.
By the way, I'm 59!
