680 the fan vs. 790 the zone AFC/NFC parties

[ATLSports]

680 and 790 are having separate AFC/NFC parties. 680 the fan's party is at Hudson Grille in Midtown. Cost: FREE. 790 the zone's party is at TJ's in Alpharetta. Cost: $10.00 (includes a bikini contest, whoo!)

Which one has the most appeal?

If the Zone was smart they would give the ten bucks to Haiti relief or charity. This might even get them some TV news time if properly executed, especially if this weekend is a slow news cycle. When do they start doing 46’s sports?

790 the Zone parties are famou/infamous dating back to the Thre Dollar Cafe days in Buckhead. Huge turnout. They claim they had 2,000 people last year. My guess is it was probably over 1,200 after you take out their BS exaggeration.

680 is doing there's at bar in Midtown so after you pay to park probably you are no better off. I have been to Hudson grill it is only going to hold a few hundred. The Zone rents a huge tent heats brings in tv's tables and chairs so I don;t think the party is a huge profit center for them.

Go with the Zone is what I say.

Basically an illustration of the differences in station philosophy.

680- Cost-Free
Moves around from year to year
Centers around the talent and the football
Last year they were at Dave and Busters
Good Crowd
Silent Auctions
Well behaved crowd
Talent sits amongst the people and shaking hands
Family environment

790 –Cost $10.00
Has moved from Three dollar Café-Tabernacle-Tj’s
Sluts it up with Hooters contest losers for bikini contest
Uses women in thongs as the draw to come out. A lot of the same women every year.
Good crowds
Bad jokes from Mike Bell.
Rowdy Crowds
Talent fraternizes amongst itself
Wouldn’t dare take a child

A few years ago a riot almost broke out at 790 event when “Stews” listeners started throwing things at one of the bikini contestants (Nice) was very dangerous, frat House environment.

As a college student, The Zone's party sounds way more fun. I guess it's just the different audiences the stations are going after. I like it when an event doesn't have to have a family environment, it's nice to go somewhere with no kids running around the whole time.

Someone went to a 790 party? Did they lose a bet? That'd be the only way you'd get me near any of those pompous, self-important, self-serving hosts.

680 treats their audience as if we can think. 790 treats their audience as if we're lucky to have them on the air.

790 is the worst. I used to listen, long ago. Then I realized I was listening to a bunch of egocentric blowhards who feel we should be honored to be living in their world.

Egocentric blowhards who feel we should be lucky living in their world? Are you sure you are not talking about Laurentino, Chuck Oliver and John Kincade.
