Today is the day that Proud radio launched their gay fm radio station targeting homosexuals and lesbians and bisexuals and pedophiles.
This station is broadcasting 24/7 on 103.9 FM and they feel that this will be a success.

It will be a success because of the economic buying power this group demands.
Since a lot of them are double income no kids and work in artistic sector jobs they are high-income earners.
I have listened to their station and they have a good music programmer he or she will help the station get good penetration to their target groups.
The advertisers are hoping for a good bang on their buck.
If it is successful then there will be Proud radio stations opening in every province in Canada.
I am guessing that on the interim this station will be successful and as their rating go up and as they gain more advertisers they will do well.
The problem I see is when they start to support or talk about controversial issues that will infuriate the population especially the moral majority crowd then the boycotts will start on whomever is advertising with this station.
The gays have a misconception that just because we allow same sex marriage in Canada that now they are finally accepted, they still have a long way to go before this will happen.
As advertisers start to pull their ads the station will have to have funding drives to get their operating expenses.
Eventually they will close their operations.
But we should give them all an A for effort for trying and when they do close then some decency can come back to the airwaves.
But then again I might be wrong and that is when Canada will go to hell.
