...demographic studies are available now to show exactly who these discerning listeners might be and just how many of them there are but President Jim Hill '67 is at no loss to predict his listenership.

It goes to college students, professors, and "other academic professional people with well-educated backgrounds." The station doesn't even try, or want to try, to infringe on the listenership of WBZ, or WMEX. Its FM advertising, for example, is almost entirely for publications such as The National Observer...

...visits Oxford," Ethridge wrote. "Or is it really possible to guarantee anyone's personal safety here or anywhere else? There are men in our state who might take fantastic risks to get even for the 1962 military occupation of Oxford by federal troops. We do not predict an attempt on R.F.K.'s life, but merely suggest that it could happen with no end of unfortunate repercussions for our state and people...
