Re: caroline"
"Compare that with the figures quoted by Neil from the late eighties when the audience was measured in millions." Mid 80s maybe although even then I'd like to see some proof (and what the format was at the time of the poll) but late 80s sounds a bit optimistic.If I was to guess a period I'd say it was soon after Laser went in and Caroline nicked 558. Here in deepest Sussex by the late 80s the signal on 819 was barely usable even during the middle of the day. I really don't know what the long term vision or prospects are for Caroline, it will never have mass appeal again, the format alone assures that and the presentation just lacks the magic that drew me to the station all those years ago. I want to be entertained when I have the radio on, not just hear about the tracks being played. Presumably it will just stumble along scraping enough revenue to fund the various platforms from its diehard listeners. The problem here is that word die, I doubt the average listener age is getting younger. It's odd that the station used a North Broadcast with its more mainstream format to host the fund raiser on 648 and London DAB. Surely the big Birthday celebration weekend was the time to promote and highlight the main format and the new frequencies, I wonder why they didn't?
