people say to me "are they still going?"... Have others had this happen as well ?
Something we said 30+ years ago at KCBC is....Why are Radio stations so good, at promoting Other firms
but Poor, when it comes to Advertising/ Promoting Themselves...
No such thing as Bad Publicity (King's death Etc) but HOW can Caroline promote itself more, to NEW listeners
As some youngsters, are just "discovering" 60's and 70's music, HOW can the station tell them, it even exists
At KCBC over 30 years ago, one of the directors, was also the editor of the Local Newspaper...
so the station was Often given a free plug, which helped a lot with the listening figures
With Poor Publicity, you could have Tony Blackburn, Taylor Swift, and Elton John booked for your event....
but without Promoting it, nobody would show up...I know I am stating the obvious...
But With Us Old gits getting older and croaking, How will younger listeners, find out about the station?
Here are some great Photos of the Ross, with the giant mast... When it left Spain with it...
at the time, even Peter Chicago said, that it would not last very long at sea...He was right

If you look carefully, you can see the Shunt feed system, with Two arms to support the vertical feedwires
In some Other photos, you can see an adjustable "Tap" wire was added, to lower the feedpoint down a bit
Is it me, or is the Forum Very Very Quiet at the moment?
