More of What Nobody Wants

Clear Channel has a problem. Nobody really wants to listen to any of their content. Their stations are loosing listeners as their audience slowly breaks from captivity and finds more alternative options. Clear Channel is claiming it can not compete with satelite radio, for instance, and that this is entierly unfair. Their solution? – less regulation of course. Clear Channel wants to be allowed to serve up the same banal content over more and more channels. That is their solution to get you to listen to them; they’re just playing on the law of averages. Note to Mark Mays: Nobody wants to listen to Clear Channel content because it sucks. The solution to declining listenership is to make the content suck less. Trying to play off the captive audience ticket and the law of averages will only doom you in the long run.
