Dave:  you're a prude.
(you asked, and well, anyone recovering from eye surgery 
should get that which he's asked for... ;-)  )

I do not disagree at all that there are times of day 
when topics and advertisements should be carefully 
screened.  As an "old" A/C jock, it pains me much to 
even hear the word "multiple orgasms" on the radio, let 
alone not having it associated with my name...  
    I've told several General Managers up here in Maine 
that a RadioDisney outlet would be not only appreciated 
up here in Portland, but would probably, in less than a 
fortnight, take control of the market.  The "grown up" 
aspects of what now passes for morning drive fodder have 
me tuning in scratchy reception of AM 1260 during the 
day, and the wonderful night skip of AM 1560.  i have 3 
kids.  my oldest, a 17 year old young woman, for 
whatever reason finds JJ's 95.9 to her liking.  I keep 
asking her from whence her inner-city urban angst 
comes...   my other two, however, will suffer the static 
and enjoy the Disney programming.
   message to radio outlets and owners everywhere:  The 
operators of stations such as Bob Bittner's WJIB/WJTO 
and RadioDisney will be the beneficiaries of your short-
sighted research and focus groups.  it is time for you 
to put your trust back into the hands of your program 
directors.  if you do not trust your p.d., and insist 
that he/she follow the dictum of the consultant, then 
fire her/his ass and get a new car with the money you'll 
save.  to actually let he/she think that she/he is 
programming your station is a cruel, cruel joke.  you 
bought the consultant.  let him/her/it write the 
freakin' programming memos and line up the part-timers.  
that's what you are paying it/her/him for.  then they 
can sit in a very silent laundromat in Lowell and watch 
the dryer spin, wondering what it was they did wrong. 
(damn, did you see that seque there...  i still got it)
