I know that I don't have the experience or the financial resources to approach a media giant like Clear Channel or Connoisseur or Citadel. I don't have a business plan and I don't have the proper formal education required. But I do have enthusiasm. I do have a sense of responsibilty! I must confess that I am looking only at the radio side, but what is happening at WICU and WSEE has already happened at the Boston Store. Once a glorious building which attracted many people from all over, and now it's just a big storage area for a lot of fancy computer equipment. Empty studios do not attract people. I just would like to see more people in the studios. I'll shoot for that goal first, and we'll go from there. OK, Erie Blogwatch, You’re absolutely right!

What do you propose which would convince your lenders/investors that they could get more return on their $$ than sticking the same $$ in some other investment vehicle....with equal or less risk ? Why not set your sights on an LPFM license ? Heck, a small handful of folks out in Cambridge Springs (WXCS-LP 92.9 MHz) seem to be making their own dreams come true on a daily basis. If your radio concepts and aspirations have merit ...and I'm not saying they do or they don't... this approach would be a great 'proving ground' as well as a potentially satisfying outlet for your creative energies.
