CPR Promotional Check-Up - Nov 9, 2018

Share-A-Thon

First, I always Google things just to see if other stations have used the names. I don't know. Just curious. The two top tier of hits for "Share-A-Thon" was Jimmy Swaggart Ministries and an LGBT organization on Fire Island.

One of the stations has a promotion coming up with pairs of listeners (friends/family assumed) qualifying for matching prizes.

I think they're going to do a Share-A-Thon.

1. The qualifiers are told that to be eligible to win, they both need active Twitter accts.
2. They arrive, go through the typical BS of signing in and are told that starting now...click of a stop watch...they have 98 minutes to take a photo or video or anything and tweet from both accounts. At the end of 98 minutes, the team with the most retweets wins. A hashtag or other station message is assumed.
3. Could also be done with other social media and either reach or views in the same time frame are the determination of a win.
4. Could also be done as Tweet With Fame: the team that can get the most famous (judged by the morning show) celebrity to reply, wins.

NKOTB

"Phenomena transcends format" - Michael Martin.

Hardly anyone plays them, but let's be honest, we're talking 42-45 y/o women who listen to you who probably still have all their NKOTB swag and remember every lyric to every song.

• Boom in Toronto won a Webby for this feature. https://www.boom973.com/2017/05/16/mixtape-of-you/
• The whole sitting on the ice block thing is actually moderately dangerous from the standpoint of causing life-threatening blood clots. However...the receptionist in Sacramento introduced me to nude iceblocking. Riding down a grassy hill on a block of ice. THAT could be a race to win tickets. (You can do it clothed. In fact, I recommend it.)
• Do you really have the right stuff in your closet? A ten item scavenger hunt of old memorabilia, ticket stubs, and a video of you in your pajamas singing "Please Don't Go Girl" in your pajamas in front of a TV station.
• A station to remain nameless is going to do Block Parties. They'll name zip codes and only take winners from those codes in specific hours.
• Again, the fashions are amazing. One of the stations is going to do a play off "Big Hair For Bon Jovi" and do on-line voting for the worst 1990 fashion.
• I forget, it might have been Hot 89.9, that did "Shock For Block" and had a morning personality ID'ing NKOTB songs. They got it wrong and they got zapped and the caller got tickets.
• One of the morning shows in Detroit took a limo of their female fans to the show and then to a pajama party and sleepover (with copious amounts of alcohol) at a hotel.
• A couple of stations have hit Topic Gold with "What was the first poster you hung in your bedroom".
