Saddest bunch of pimping I've heard.

 

I've grown to just assume anytime there is a new sponsor, whoever is the voice in the promo got the work.

 

Ballou and the Chiropractor (Who is my Chiropractor and really good by the way),

Frangie and his Mom dump,

the Performance Painting Jason dude...met him at the Home and Garden show... I assume he paints the building and the "talent's" houses or something.

 

No one really pays to advertise on 1010 do they? :no:

 

Local radio stations do a lot of barter work if they're not part of a conglomerate like Clear Channel.

 

My dad was a CPA.  One of his first clients when he started his own practice was a local talk and news station, WEXI.  The owner of the station was a financial mess, and never had money to pay my dad, but we'd get the best vacation packages staying at major chain hotels around the country, getting tickets to theme parks, shows, and sporting events because he'd get payola from station sponsors and turn around and barter that for services.  We  had quite a few really nice vacations as kids courtesy of WEXI's sponsors.
