Nielsen Rating called my cellphone, which isn't right in itself. They
wanted to know what my favorite radio station was. I told them I like
BBC-2 better than BBC-4 by a little bit. The silence on the line was
deafening until she recovered a little, then asked what LOCAL radio
station I listened to. I told her none, they were just audio billboards
and of no further use.

Nielsen Rating called me once and wanted to know what TV programs I watched.
I said none, that I didn't have a TV. She replied that she guessed I didn't
get to voice my opinion then. I told her that I thought I had voiced my
opinion pretty well.

Now, back to the boat...

You really don't understand the media business model, do you.



I don't either. The lighted billboard that was in my living room has
been gone for 8 years, now. Of course, the lighted billboard is TV. Why
anyone would PAY to have cable TV spam them to death always fascinates
me. They should be paying the consumers to watch that lighted
billboard....

Want a free AM-FM radio? I've given away 8 of them, so far. I'll keep
the hand crank portable that also runs on solar panels in case there's a
national emergency.

salesman sitting next to you trying to sell you a new car all day and
Ditech.com's salesman riding behind you trying to get you into debt? How
stupid...that and listen to some idiot bitching about this or that on AM,
now....

I offered to pay my UK radio tax to support such fine programming, but
they declined my offer. Then, I offered to pay my UK TV taxes if they'll
put the home channels on pay for play broadband! They're thinking about
it....(c;

I don't want to watch BBC America. It's not near as good as BBC's home
channels.
