Just Thinking

I don't know who made this chart of the Issues, Etc. web site downloads, but it sure got me thinking.

When the synod pulled the plug on Issues, Etc. it shut down nearly 97% of KFUO's entire AM internet listening audience. (We don't know anything about the KFUO-FM internet audience. Those statistics might be available by email: david.strand@lcms.org, dstortz@classic99.com) Words simply fail at this point.

[Edit 3/30 - The FM stats have been provided here.]

Another thought. If everyone who downloaded an Issues, Etc. file on the average month gave $0.99 for each file, the cost of a legal MP3 download, Issues, Etc. would have been swimming in cash.

A final thought. This isn't about money.

Look up Jon T. on WT. He's one of my "friends". I believe he made the chart.

Nice piece of work! When it comes to number analysis, a picture is truly worth a thousand words.

Wow, shutting down 97% of Issues, Etc. audience is like recalling 75% of foreign missionaries to pay for slick Madison Avenue style brochures, pamphlets and banners to be hung in our sanctuaries.
It’s becoming harder and harder to put the best construction on any of this.
