Play To Your Strengths.....

The Maven is far from being a Country music aficionado, but of the two Country stations in Fort Wayne, US93-3 is a preferred choice. Having said, that, the Maven would like to remind US93-3 that when any radio station, or media outlet, strays from their strengths, they usually end up looking foolish. Even the best intended ideas can fall flat. While they may generate responses, it's clear that credibility can still be harmed. 

At issue, a thread appearing on US93-3's Facebook page. 

The Maven knows of no shooting, deadly or otherwise that has ever turned out "well".  

And the second sentence is just as juvenile and asinine. One smart-ass poster to this thread reminded US93-3 that this shooting took place in a bar parking lot, so asking about keeping the streets safe is an ignorant question. (Don't bother looking for that comment, it disappeared within minutes.) The Maven won't go that far, but, if US93-3 wants to engage their listeners with the crime and grime and doom and gloom of the unsavory underbelly of Fort Wayne, they may be doing themselves a disservice, as many listeners tune into their favorite music to escape the troubles and ugliness of the day. But, then again, this is a Facebook thread, so one must consider the source.
