To listeners (or potential listeners) there's no such thing as "tiers". As 
long as the signal is listenable, people will find it. Billboard ads will help 
add to those numbers. Only in the eyes (and ears) of us Broadcasters, do 
stations fall into "tiers".

I'm surprised, also. Some very wealthy people are infusing it with cash, but 
eventually they're going to get tired of pouring money down the drain if it 
doesn't start to pick up and fly on its own. It would look pretty silly to see a 
grown man riding a Harley with training wheels.
