LGC: Listener Generated Comedy

Sunny/71° at 9am

Good Morning...

CFMI/Vancouver morning host Bro Jake is looking for "The Funniest Person With A Day Job" - an amateur stand-up comedian competition featuring station listeners. Even the bad ones are good.

It's a great promo with web and NTR components. Listeners can submit their own video or have the station tape one for them. Check out the webpage here to see videos and details.

There's some other cool promotions on CFMI's website.

Have your sales manager look at "The Balls Are Back". Sales managers love promos for car dealers.

This station rocks - and knows how to have fun!
