SR, you are discriminating against us older listeners

"SR, you are discriminating against us older listeners"

"Debater: Why there is no channel for us older people in ordinary radio, Cilla Benkö?"

"This is an opinion piece. It is the writer who stands for the views that are put forward in the text, not Against."

"the DEBATE. After many questions and requests to get your own radio station for only us older people, we are many who wonder why the Swedish Radio symphony management chose to put it on the internet? It is well indeed to invite us, with the elbow!"

"New research shows that the digital divide has shrunk in recent years, but 70 per cent of the elderly feel that they are ignorant and uncertain what field of computers and use of the internet. Less than 50 per cent of the elderly over 65 use the internet daily. If you look at those over 75, is the daily use only 30%. "

"Why is it, then, äldreradio on the internet? ”Good question,” think you that reads this. Yes, it is many of us seniors who are also wondering how to think among the decision makers, now we want to have an answer! "

"Can it be that those who control the programming looks to us older people as a fairly uninteresting target audience, we hear not just the future. Maybe they think ”We must invest in the young generation of listeners, and it is radio's future'."

"It feels like a trend in today's society that they are over the age of 55 is passé"

"For us older, it feels unbelievable that we are treated as second-class citizens, pure discrimination. We are 2 million pensioners, which SR ignores! Shall not the range of software applications reflect different age groups in society, or am I wrong? Why bet so much on the children and youth programs? "

"It feels like there is a trend in today's society that they are over the age of 55 is out, passé, the group we need not concern ourselves about! Should it be so here?"

"Imagine what many of the elderly who are sitting at home alone in their apartment, and longing to hear a dear old melody, or a well-known radioröst who they know and who takes up those things that concern me, such as the elderly and which would gild the day."

"It must surely be obvious even to the decision makers in the SR will elderly people have it more difficult than younger ones to deal with the internet. Therefore, priority will be given to this group of listeners in the usual radio that we are capable of managing. "

"A proposal for how you will get to the shots in this question is that the two different lyssnargrupperna change forum, the young people taking internetforumet, the elderly take over the P3 forum."

"' No, you can't do” they say, maybe, but why not? What is the problem? "

"Our dear comedy Eva Rydberg has also pointed to the SR's strange priority."

"All young people are in school on weekdays, at other times, they are always connected to the internet, or how? According to new research, more than 90 per cent of all young people between 16 and 25 years, on a daily basis out there on the internet. What is the problem with changing the forum? "

"Are there other influential groups that is behind this decision?"

"in Order to further illustrate how the SR discriminates against this group of older people, we can compare with the group which listens to P2, the classical music throughout the day. This priority group is relatively small, 2 percent, according to SR's own lyssnarundersökning. Yet, they have a whole channel to themselves. Why is it so? "

"”Well, classical music is the culture,” perhaps those responsible at the same time as the wrinkling their noses at the older people's taste in music. Or are there other influential groups that is behind this decision? Or could it be, horrible words, elitism? We have the wrong? Why it looks like it does in the schedules?"

"It is now high time that something happens in this issue and that it is not drawn out into a out, we don't have any time. It is NOW, it will happen, Cilla Benkö, Swedish Radio's ceo."
