Nice story a friend posted on Facebook.
Headline:
“SHELBYVILLE, Ky. (WDRB)– CDs are loaded, headphones are on, levels look good.
93.3 WXLN DJ, Paul Morris’ radio show is under way. It’s 2 hours– part Bluegrass, part gospel.
Morris is “up in the years” as he likes to say, 79-years-young to be exact. He broadcasts his show from the Amber Oaks Assisted Living facility.”

That’s the Way to Go
Senior Living Centers should take notice.
Radio broadcasting can be a perfect solitary or group pastime.
LPB carrier current company had a sheet printed to promote putting radio stations in all kinds of living centers, also including hospital recovery rooms and retirement centers.
Heck, I do it here at Happy Pasture Retirement Carnival, home of KDX.
The women play canasta to win me for the day.
At one time my Wife and I
At one time my Wife and I considered an assisted living program because of her health and the fact that Elizabeth City was so expensive. Thank God for now it has not came to that. But if it did of course you can’t always put up an AM antenna outside. Station8’s antenna would work if the building didn’t have all sorts of metal in it. However Carrier Current AM or even FM would work in the complex. Attory shipped C. Crane FM transmitter could work as everyone would be on the same mains. That said I could imagine that if you had the right format you could get a lot of listeners from the facility. The signal would not even have to pass through it in order for you to achieve an audience.
