That age range was put in place at a time when pop culture worked completely differently and when there was a clear generational gap when it came to music. Yeah the 15-29 target audience thing is very strange. Especially when, currently, only 2 daytime presenters fit into that age range. They are Sam and Danni.From September, 5 presenters will fit into that age range. They will be Jerry, GK Barry, Charley, Sam and Danni.
