CPR Promotional Check-Up - Oct 8, 2018

October Gallery Contests

You can rev-icize these on-line contests pretty extensively, and since Halloween is one of the more visual of the Hallmark Holidays, it would make sense to try and stick one in the middle of next month.

A few of the stations have digital rules about things like group photos and kids so one way to get through that minefield would be to tap into the people who post photos of when they were kids, in costume, heading out. They would need to go through whatever release authentication process you have for submitting photos for contests but it dodges the "we don't post photos of kids" because the people in the photos are now adults. Bing.

Shocktober

Kiss in Albany used that as an umbrella for October 2017. Kind of like stations that do Love Week for Valentines, it tied together all of the stuff they had happening like a haunted sleepover, broadcasts from attractions, morning content and web contesting. In theory, you could do all of these for the 2nd biggest adult party night of any year.

• A paranormal (or even a singlenormal) investigation with one of the drive shows.
• An event like a club night or costume ball.
• Something for the site like listeners carving and submitting Jerk-O-Lanterns that look like members of the morning show.
• Party crashing on the Saturday before Halloween.
• Pumpkin bowling, pumpkin dropping, weedwhacker pumpkin carving.
• Going out to offices on the 31st.
• Hitting haunted attractions every Saturday night and broadcasting.
• Morning show guests about safe costumes, EVP, local hauntings, body painting, psychics, etc.

The Dreaded Morning Show-On-Vacation Week

If I had my way, the lazy, over-paid, good-for-nothings would get NOTHING. And LIKE IT. But, on a semi-regular basis, you need to let them free to rehabilitate and detoxify their systems. Here is some imaging that I wrote for Michael Martin. File away for the next time the morning show scatters.

• The regularly scheduled program, Kevin and Bean has been pre-empted to bring you a special Spanish language rebroadcast of the exciting 1978 World Cricket semi-finals of Peru vs. Indonesia. They will return at their regular time, next Monday. Thank you.
• Today's Kevin and Bean morning show is a special guest hosted episode, with their parts being played by various food items we bought on clearance at Ralphs. Honestly? We do it all the time and no one seems to notice.
• Kevin and Bean are on vacation and will return to the World Famous KROQ next Monday at their regularly scheduled time. Vacation? Those guys? There's some irony for you. Sorry. I digress. Please enjoy whatever budget programming has been chosen as a substitute.
• The Kevin and Bean Laura are on vacation and at home listening and stealing bits from other morning shows to bring back and, oh, uh, they're using this time off to refresh their creative juices and prepare some of the best and most original morning programming found anywhere. That's our story and we're sticking to it.
• Kevin and Bean are off this week. They wanted to take a vacation and the boss said "Take as much time as you like. I could get a couple of monkeys in here and they could probably do your job better then you do and for a helluva lot less money." And so far, he's right.
• Kevin and Bean will not be in this week. Their dog ate their show.
• Kenin and Bean are on Summer hiatus as they prepare for another season of drama, car chases, cliffhangers, taboo love, illicit romance, unfulfilled dreams and a special appearance by Mayim Byalik as the Bosses Niece! The fun starts this coming Monday at 6 am.
• Kevin and Bean have taken this week off as they wrestle with the decades-old questions: what's bothering the Beaver? The answer to that and more zany hilarity this coming Monday as they return with a new season on The World Famous KROQ.
