The "Bay" is now "Frank"

[Doug Drown]

Interesting.  I wonder how many broadcasting management people there are out
there who recognize that the U.S. has an aging demographic.  There are more
and more "seniors" out there who, it would seem, are being ignored --- the
Sinatra listeners.  A lot of them are retiring to Hancock County (and are
wealthy.  Advertisers, take note).  How many "Classic Hits" stations does
the Down East area need, anyway?

All of this goes to buttress a long-held contention of mine: there are too
damn many radio stations.  Anyone want to take on my argument?
