Thread Name: Why do folk music radio programs fail?
Subject: RE: Why do folk music radio programs fail?
I couldn't find this thread yesterday, so I'm reposting and editing what I wrote to the Radio Success thread yesterday:

"On my desk have I a 6+ page list of US and Canadian stations which play(ed) Folk music by day and time, The list is dated FEB. 22, 2006.

I just checked six stations that broadcast folk programs on Sunday morning, then; five still do: KLCC, WOUB, WUWF, WORT, & KRFC. About 10 min. ago KFRC back-announced a tune by Seamus Kennedy (our own compatriot?).

Based on this small sampling, I'm supposing that folk music is alive and picking (with apologies to MKAlden) on the radio."

Note: since yesterday I found three or four more programs still kicking around all these years. FAIl? Many do not!
