[BC] Springer slogans

[Harold Hallikainen]

>>>Well, I know that we used to have our own joke versions of some of
> broadcasting's more pompous sloganeering.  How about:  "When news breaks,
> we fix it."  Or "When news breaks, it stays broken."  And then, there is
> the legendary slogan for everyone who is puzzled by reporters doing
> stand-ups late at night outside of empty buildings.  "Nothing happened,
> and
> we were there."
>
> My all time favorite is "Broadcasting from a very tall tower with flashing
> red lights so airplane won't hi..[sounds of static]
>
> [announcer clearing throat]..."now broadcasting from our somewhat smaller,
> back up tower........."
>


Not quite the same, but I saw in a station sales manager's office a plaque
or something that said "The sales job begins when the client says no."
