Short post; long day.

Cool promo: "Friends of" Triple-A formatted WMVY/Martha's Vineyard is offering listeners a chance to give their loved one their very own music channel for Valentine's Day, complete with its own URL and online for 30 days.

See here. Tipped by Sean Ross.

Super Bowl. Great game...plenty of drama in the 4th quarter. Commercials pretty ho-hum; there were a few good ones that stood out - sort of. Can't remember 'em now. Tom Petty excellent.

I missed it. Lee Arnold didn't. Yesterday the anniversary of the day the music died in 1959. Some great videos posted in tribute on Lee's blog here.

More tomorrow.

Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day is less than a week away - and while its likely a national holiday on the sister AC station down the hall, it can be a fun day for Classic Rock too!

New York's Q104.3 has lists of The Top Ten Classic Rock Love Songs here and The Top Ten Breakup Songs here. We're certain you can go beyond these lists on your own. Add a little appropriate imaging and you're all set.

On the promotion front, down in Greenville, SC - WROQ put together a great web feature (and might have picked up a few NTR dollars) of gift ideas for both men and women here. KCFX/Kansas City also appears to have picked up NTR revenue with The Guy's Guide To Valentines Day here. On more than a few Clear Channel station websites appears this Valentine's Day feature.

KGGO in Des Moines is inviting couples to either get married or renew their vows en masse on Valentine's Day. What TV news crew could resist covering this?

The Jones Radio satellite-fed Classic Rock format is celebrating with "rock's greatest tracks about love and lust" - plus giving away copies of The Beatles "Love" and Rhino's "Love Sucks" collection. KSLX/Phoenix has packaged up goodies from the prize closet as "Valentine Day Emergency Packs".

Coming up Saturday, March 17th: St. Patrick's Day.
