[BC] Re: No more remotes

[Chuck Lakaytis]

And remotes over wretched quality cell phone do not cut it!

I heard one the other day and could not turn on the IPOD in my truck fast 
enough!

To quote my old boss Don Rinker, "It's easier to get listeners to switch off 
your station then it is to get them to switch it on".

How about this... CLEAN UP YOUR MARTI!!! Some stations do Marti shots that
sound GREAT, while yet other continue not to care, as long as they are on
the streets. Being on the streets is of VITAL importance now more than ever
IMHO as satellite and IPODs become more prevalent. We ways to differentiate
ourselves from these services, and one of these ways is to meet face to face
with the listeners. You can't get personal interaction with satellite or
IPOD. People still like to interact with others and as long as that is true,
GOOD LOCAL radio will always have a place of prominence.

 Shake hands. I say Hogwash. Program your station correctly with good
content
 and you'll win. End of discussion. If there's a cash flow problem then have

management fix it by upping the rates or getting the sales people off their
b
utts.    Now, do you really want me to tell you what I think? :)    Steve

 Steve,  there is validity to getting out there, rubbing elbows with the
public
 and hanging banners. You would be hard pressed to convince me that these
thing
s don't help with the image of the station.   Have the studio announcer push
th
e fact that the remote crew is at site "A" and why you should go there. Then
gi
ve the "remote" announcer a PA mic. Don't crap up your air signal with some
noi
sy assed marti signal.      Jeff Glass Northern Illinois University  DEC
