Your statement about small communities' familiarity - where everybody knows everybody is so important when relying on ad revenue for sustainability. Once the word gets around, particularly in the business community that there is a "bad apple" things 'go south' pretty quick. There are only 1 or 2 ads per hour on "Green FM" CFSI which can't be covering the bills. A few, disgruntled former advertisers have told me some in the business community & Chamber of Commerce now call CFSI "Greed FM". I made comments in another thread about further deterioration of the economies on the Goofy Islands. However, to my eyes at least, the economy in the Long Beach communities is much healthier than here. Therefore, advertising minutes should be much higher on LBR 90.1/99.5 Former operator Geoff Johnson certainly proved that there is sustenance in advertising revenue for the stations. Also, the communities seem to be able to support a local newspaper, monthly tourist magazine and perhaps other media I'm not aware of. To quote Chuck Berry: "C'est la vie say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell"
