John and Tammy, KSON, San Diego with Winning an “ACM”

A running theme on John and Tammy, KSON, San Diego is that they always get nominated for awards, but never win them.  They’re the Susan Lucci of local radio!  As a tenured show, the rules are different.  They can mock themselves and treat sardonically not winning an award.  This is a connection point with their audience, as their fans don’t win any awards, too.  Because they are so well-defined after 10+ years on-the-air, it’s okay to do this.  They were up for an ACM (Academy of Country Music) award this year, but didn’t win again.  So they did the next best thing the morning the ACM show was on TV.  They broadcast live from ACM Auto Body and Paint in San Diego.  The client was smart and gave them their ACM.  Here’s a video they put on social to continue that story line.
