KMVQ: Who Ruined Your Wedding

September 23, 2012

Fernando & Greg The very best, most entertaining phone topics satisfy two criteria. First they must originate from an experience a member of the show has. That’s the justification to do it (verses it being perceived as a generic, prep service topic). The second is that what you ask for must be stories. Inside stories, there’s rich detail and twist and turns that will keep listeners hooked because the show has something to mine for gold. A member of Fernando and Greg, NOW 99.7, San Francisco, went to a wedding which was ruined by an invited guest. Here are the fun phones they did around it.

B96 Truth or Pair

September 16, 2012

J & Julian The very best morning radio is personal and vulnerable. Which is why the feature “Truth or Pair” works. J and Julian, B96, Chicago’s number one show had tickets to give out to see Pink perform at the station.

But if the question was too personal, they could take a pass and the listener got the pair of tickets to see Pink.

They married the opposites of old school views on sex and a naked Channing Tatum. Here’s Greg’s mom “review” of the movie.

Kyle & Rachel The Indiana Pacers recently had auctions for new cheerleaders. Kyle from Kyle and Rachel, Radio NOW 100.9, Indianapolis, decided to interview some of the potential cheerleaders. What to do? In a brainstorm, I asked him what some of the stereotypes were for cheerleaders. Kyle said “they’re dumb”. So, he decided to ask them very hard science questions. The twist is he gave them the answers so they came off the opposite of dumb. The way this was done, it was quite obvious to listeners there was a set-up, which made it fun.
