General Questions
How many people listen to Blue Wave Radio?-
That’s a really great question… And one that is impossible to answer with any accuracy… According to the US State Department, there are about 5,000 Expats on Roatan at any moment. These range from permanent residents to the increase when the snowbirds arrive. The Canadian Expats are another large group… Plus the English speaking islanders who make up about half the population of Roatan’s conservatively estimated 70,000 plus residents. So let’s assume that is about 40,000 potential listeners… and of that, using US radio estimates which says 80% of adults listen daily to the radio… so let’s take that number down to 32,000… And because I’m conservative… let’s just cut that in 1/2… so about 16,000 people probably listen to Blue Wave Radio daily… (We have more than 1000 people listening on the TUNEin App online… and an equal number who listen directly… most of these listeners are US/Canadian.)

What is your personal background?-
I got started in Radio. Then studied Marketing and Accounting at Mississippi State University. I was working at a radio station in Columbus, MS when I got a call from the West Coast… An acquaintance knew that I was producing music jingles (I wanted to be a musician but didn’t have the commitment it took). A radio station in Santa Barbara, CA wanted a production director who could produce jingles for clients there. I packed my bags and went there. From there it was to San Diego where I spent 25 years as a Marketing Director (VP of Marketing for Compass Communications) and as the Morning Show Host of KPRi Radio… My marketing background covers the field because at some point I have created or been involved in the development of everything from websites to TV commercials to Facebook Marketing programs to giant outdoor advertising programs to logo development to newspaper advertising campaigns… Sometimes I’ve actually been very successful… And if I don’t know something, I know someone who is close to me that does.
