broadcasters in this part of central Texas. Although we certainly do have younger listeners, our
audience is predominantly in the age group of 50 years old and over. These people are
often ignored by traditional media. Most of our listeners are
comfortably well off, educated consumers, retired or in mid-life and preparing for retirement.
