RE: Today's LTAR

["Brian Vita" <brian_vita@cssinc.com>]

XM radio has 2 all comedy channels.  One is PG the other is R/X rated
stuff (we've dubbed it the penis joke channel).  They were interesting
to listen to for about a day.  While they seem to have a good repertoire
of material, you can only joke about genitalia so long...

True, but again, they could play novelty songs or
old time radio. Depends on the demo they're going for.
If it's middle aged and older people, running
Tom Lehrer songs or Bob and Ray routines might
suit them just fine.

Or they could do G/PG humor much of the day and
run the more raunchy stuff at night...but yes, it
could be a tough sell.
