Captive Audiences

November 23, 2012 by Carl Blare

Part 15 radio stations have a history of seeking the captive audience.

Part 15 radio stations have a history of seeking the captive audience.

MICRO1700 recalled Radio Collinsville, a station on a pickup-truck that set up shop at a rest stop where his audience happened along on their travels.

Two stations have positioned themselves to serve idling drivers waiting for ferry boats at Friday Harbor, Washington and Tybee Island, Georgia.

Now we have a national epidemic of overnight campouts in mall parking lots prior to Black Friday, and we must rise to provide part 15 service to relieve the boredom and excite the experience with commercial messages paid for by the surrounding merchants. If you play it right this one event could fund the station for a whole year.

Big Ideas of Western Man.

    Black Camp
    A nifty idea. Thing is though those campers sitting out there waiting for the big rush tromple stomple will have to drag along their radio too and it’s doubtful they would want to leave it where they were camping in line, and the store isn’t going to let them carry it inside.

    Perhaps instead of feeding a low power transmitter, a regular audio PA would be better.
