Fill in the blanks in this paragraph from an article about a local talk radio station:
__________ listeners are also wealthy, white, middle-aged, and overwhelmingly male. According to a survey conducted earlier this year by the Media Audit, 91 percent of the station's audience is Caucasian, while 83 percent is male. Roughly 70 percent of __________ listeners are at least 45 years old, and 60 percent have household incomes of greater than $75,000.
Rich, middle-aged, white males? Gotta be that bastion of the "angry white male" AM-1280 The Patriot, right?
Wrong. Try the local Air America affiliate, as detailed in the City Pages.
Another noteworthy chestnut that I pulled from the story was this lamentation from the rich white female owner of the station:
Perhaps pitying herself for a moment, she adds, "We have not been able to do what we wanted to do just because of lack of resources. Some people with my kind of money they have seven homes in Switzerland and Vale, and I have a radio station. I have to tell you it's put a complete crimp in my life."
(Sniff)
Things are tough all over ain't they Janet?
