Yes Jackie! In case I didn't make it clear, the Bird Song is very
popular, though not sure if it attracts more than the 150,000
listeners audience research supposedly identified for OneWord.
I wish there were a more appropriate place to discuss this, but
briefly I think the business model for a station like OneWord was
always very flawed. I wish in a rather vague way, was room for a more
socially oriented business, or businesses, maybe sharing a channel
with each having, say, four or six hour slots, maybe repeated on some
sort of cycle. I'd be tempted to try such a discussion on Vi-gen, but
some there are happier talking about, say, how many guide dogs you can
stuff in a taxi!
Final thought.. Does anyone know how active the one or two radio
lists mentioned on Whitestick are?
