[BC] Good and bad remotes...

[Burt I. Weiner]

I did a Sports Talk remote from a tire store once.  Hardly anyone 
showed up.  Could it have possibly been that it was 6 AM on a Sunday 
morning and the store was closed that day?  I remember asking 
beforehand, "Are you sure of the date and time???)

I've seen remotes - in recent times - work very well.  Especially if 
they're planned and something more than the sports guy sitting at a 
card table in the corner of a shoe store on Tuesday at noon.  A good 
remote can build listener loyalty.  A good remote can turn out a 
stadium full.  A bad remote can barely turn out the promotions guy.
