People want something for nothing, and commercial radio is the only thing that one doesn't have to pay for these days. As long as commercial radio can come up with the goods loyal listeners will remain committed. Change the rules of the game and they will simply move on. Putting a multitude of stations on one frequency isn't going to solve the problem. It is my feeling that listeners want to become more involved in programming. This can be achieved in a number of ways. For an example becoming a program host for a day. Obviously the host would have to have some skills in this area of expertise. A talent search could be conducted in much the same way that we search out good talent on American idle. When tuning in a particular station I for one will take the path of least resistance. If the station is at the end of the dial and has good programming I will probably gravitate to that station. When I worked in AM radio and AM radio was the only game in town we were fortunate to be smack dab in the middle of the dial. We had two other bookend stations on both sides of us. If the listeners did not like their programming they would simply change their dial to us and leave it there and never change it again. It is for this reason that we were a solid number one with 84% of the local audience. Another plus for us is that we were on the same frequency as the big eight in Windsor, Ontario. That in itself speaks for itself. Radio is so fragmented to day that you would be hard pressed to get even 20% in a major market. A tough sell for anyone trying to sell radio advertising to a potential client.
