Narrowcasting is the trend in most areas of the media, radio, tv, and
magazines. With so many choices for entertainment and information, the days
of one station serving the whole community are gone. The name of the game
today is attracting a specific demographic group and selling it to
advertisers that want that audience. The Internet and database marketing
have also contributed greatly to this trend. There may be flaws with this
philosophy, but it's not going to change any time soon because the whole
marketing industry today is based on narrowscasting and niche-marketing.
