CPR Promotional Check-Up - Aug 24, 2020

Drinks And The People Who Drink Them

Very early in lockdown John & Tammy at KSON in San Diego and Pebbles & Boomer at Jammin’ in New London started doing virtual happy hours where they would mingle and chat with the audience either on Facebook Live or via Zoom, and they would introduce a different drink recipe and show how to make it.

People are using their “home time” to pick up new hobbies and in Friday’s eblast I tossed out a list of “things” that you could bring in clients to do classes on, including, bartending and cocktail mixing. And then I ran across a DJ on Facebook who was doing one of these lessons on Friday and was showing her listeners how to make a Prohibition Era cocktail called The Bee’s Knees.

Jail 'N Bail

Radio is kind of cyclical where we rotate through methodologies, shelve them for awhile and then bring them back. Marconi may have been the first air talent to do a J&B in 1921 at a Hy Vee remote in Rome. And it’s back with Orlando at WiLD 94.1 helping raise funds for wheelchairs for kids.

Dog Days Of Summer

Across the hall at Q-105, they’re (not surprisingly) getting a million entries to win pet food and supplies.

Construction Crew

A couple of stations have made adjustments to office visits, but there is one genre of workplaces that are seemingly unaffected by the pandemic, and that’s road work, home construction, landscaping and other “outdoor” fields of work. And for yet another summer, K-97 in Edmonton is delivering food to these people toiling in the heat.
