There are a lot of TV shows with characters you never saw. http://mentalfloss.com/article/54533/11-famous-television-characters-we-never-actually-saw

Only a few radio shows or stations have tried it. Rush has ventured down that road with Snerdly or whoever the made up producer is. Jamz in Orlando had an 80 year-old security guard down at the prize vault in sub sector Z who would call up and ask how Mr. Carter was doing as President. And Power in Miami had Uncle Beasley Reed who was the 100 year-old owner who loved Hip Hop and dated only Playboy Bunnies. At a Power House concert, they wheeled out a guy in makeup, in a wheel chair, with a rolling IV and an oxygen tank ministered by a stripper in a mini skirt. 18,000 people went nuts when Uncle Beasley Reed finally showed his face.

It's theater. Radio needs more theater.

Cart-Pool Karaoke

The Jimmy's have done all of our research for us. This is mildly cool. I'm really surprised more stations don't do this kind of stuff. And who doesn't have an occasional golfcart at a show? From Mix in Boise.

No outdoor shows? No prob. There's something specific to every market that you could do this with.

• Lutheran Church Lutefisk Dinner Karaoke at any station in Minnesota or the Dakotas.
• Disney Shuttle Tram Karaoke if you're at AMP in Orlando.
• Escort Card Slapping Karaoke at KLUC in Las Vegas.
• Cannabis Shop Karaoke if you're at Z-100 in Portland.
• Sandia Tram Karaoke at KOB-FM in Albuquerque.
• Ski Lift Karaoke at Magic in Colorado Springs.
• Float Plane Karaoke at Z-95.3 in Vancouver.

The Winnebago World Tour

"Drives" can be a little like a fair or festival. You can sit in one location and hope that people come to you, or, you can go out to where they are or work the entire festival.

When KSFM was in the middle of a decade long run at #1, Davey & Chris did The Winnebago World Tour as a food drive. They did three four hour hits a day and specifically targeted (people who paid for the stops) in important zips and corners of the market. They'd pull into a Walmart (for instance) at 9 pm and do the first broadcast of the day from there the next morning.

Now...imagine doing this with an RV that was wrapped as Santa's sleigh...
