Hey wow, this is a funny little tidbit. Looks like the New York State Broadcasters Association (NYSBA) is sick and tired of all the damn publicity that Satellite Radio has been getting, and gosh-darnit they’re fighting back!
They’re offering a $10,000 prize for the best spots tooting “free” terrestrial radio vs satellite radio - I guess because attempts to do this by Big Radio in the past were lackluster (to put it nicely). The winning spots will be distributed to all New York stations for air-time with a winner announced at NYSBA?s Conference at the end of this month.
Well shit, I need some money and I know the NYSBA reads Orbitcast - so here’s some suggestions:
“Satellite Radio can go F off and suck my C, because NY Radio kicks A. Listen to us - we use letters to express what we really want to say.”
“When you’re in New York you can listen to our stations, but with Satellite Radio you can listen EVERYWHERE and that’s just not cool!”
“New York Radio… We have John Montone!”
“If you’ve had your teeth filled, you can’t pick up Satellite Radio - Ha! Take that!”
“Traffic and Weather together on the 8’s. 20-minute commercial blocks. Identical Top 40 formats throughout all our stations. You can’t get identical templates on Satellite!”
