It’s A Small World After All
I got a response from my Small Town America post, the other day, from someone who’s dad was also born in Minneapolis, KS. It would be interesting if we are related in some way.
I sent an email to someone in the city of Minneapolis asking if they knew of the Littrell family. I got an email back saying they had never heard of them. Funny, I thought we owned that town. Oh, well. Things change, I guess.
I’ve always had a kind of romantic idea about living in a small town. I even looked into buying a radio station in Lakeview, Oregon. The price of the station was a bargain and had a lot of potential. In the back of my mind, I’m still thinking about it.
My wife wanted to know why I wanted to own a station in a small community and the answer is: Involvement. A radio station in a smaller community can create a powerful relationship with the community it serves. Radio stations in larger cities, which are owned by large broadcasting concerns sometimes focus on the financial bottom line and don’t relate to the marketplace as well as they could.
As I said. I’m still thinking about smaller communities as a place to live. We’ll see.
