The 12 Cars Of Christmas

One of the stations has been approached to give away a lease for a car. Ugh. I hate these contests. Nothing makes us possibly sound more cheap or petty than giving somebody something that we're going to take away.

I believe it's been fixed. One winner will get a new car every month for a year. Okay, now that sounds large and the whole "lease thing" is lost in the hook.

From J Will at iHeart in Poughkeepsie: "Autumn...no longer just the name of a stripper."

The Anti-Interviewer

I refer to Hot 89.9 in Ottawa about once a day. They get on CNN a few times a year and never for killing anyone. This is a perfect example. A few years ago they were given a list of things to specifically NOT ask One Direction. So...Rush from the station started the interview and then ended it because anything he WANTED to ask, he wasn't supposed to. And...buzzpalooza.

This is like the KOB-FM thing in Albuquerque. The stations that have interviewed Obama and played it straight got less-than-zip in terms of any outside coverage. The Morning Mayhem asked about super powers and it went worldwide in terms of press. Arguably the biggest press orgy I've ever seen.

You can get 8000 1D interviews from 8000 various sources. So why would you want to play by
the rules and do the same thing? Most famous Prince interview ever? American Bandstand in about 1982. He told the band just before they played to just stand there and be silent. Which they did and Dick Clark ended up looking very uncomfortable as his questions were met with blank stares. No one would remember Prince on ABS if they're happily answered inane questions from the host.
