I don't have a reply yet, but here's his...

Seems like he looks in on this site from time to time. And I'm glad that
he confirmed my assertion that Talonian is, indeed, his corporate self,
taking a bit of 'mystery' out of it all.

As a 'informed denouncer', few understand better than me the concept of
getting older and then having the revenue that fed one's livelihood
vanish for explainable but no less nasty reasons. As 'Talonian', he has
a manager and a webmaster. Didn't they tell him the net was a way to
bring his show to everybody who couldn't hear it on radio- a vast new
market that should be seen as an opportunity to find new fans and
reestablish contact with old ones (like me) who lost the show because of
greedy corporate station owners?

There were piles of cash to be made if it was done correctly. If he had
a well designed and user friendly site, hordes of new 'dementoids' would
descend on it and buy all the products he could possibly think of
selling- including a reliable high quality stream of the show. This
would solve the problem of revenue loss elsewhere. How difficult would
it have been to set up such a site if he already had qualified people to
do it? Not very, I expect. Since it was done so badly, it may have been
his people and not us who were 'uninformed'.

Instead of seeing the internet as an opportunity for more revenue, he
saw it as a threat to the revenue that remained, turned on his fanbase
by attacking sites like this one, which began as a 'tribute' site and
eliminating the streams of his show either with threatened legal action
or by conveniently 'forgetting' to provide new shows to stations that
streamed it. A rather unethical business practice, if ever there was
one. All this bad faith he was generating combined with what many see as
poor service on his site has brought about the mess he's in now.

The Doctor Demento Show need not end. A few gestures of good will such
as making peace with sites like this, allowing streaming again so a
whole lot of fans like me can hear it and a reworking of his site-
including the sale of a high quality stream or better yet, a podcast of
the show (192kbps or more) could make it all commercially viable for
years to come. He need only listen to his fans instead of...whoever he's
listening to now, make a few adjustments and things will be fine again.
It's something any good 'corporation' would do.
