> Any ideas on adopting this TV show into a radio contest?

I heard a morning show do a bit called "Neal or No Neal". They called businesses that had the name "Neal" in them. The listener had to guess if there really was someone there named Neal or if Neal was just randomly in the name (like the previous owner of the company).
Sounded okay...the morning show played off of not having much of a budget so each correct answer won the listener $10.<P ID="signature">______________

Paige Neinbauer suggested "Keel or No Keel", basing it on people who are dead or not.
My thought is adopting it like the show, but filling the "briefcases" with concert tickets, a station t-shirt, and other stuff in the prize closet. Surely there's crap in the prize closet?
The "banker" comes back with different deals like dinner for two at a local restaurant, etc.

I'm planning on doing "Meal or No Meal". Instead of briefcases, we'll use paper lunch bags, and gift certificates (or pre-paid cards, seeing as that's how things are going these days) to a fast-food joint will be the prize listeners play for.
Now if I can just find a suitable music bed...<P ID="signature">______________

I REALLY like "Meal or No Meal". That would be a great PM drive promotion.
That's what I was thinking. A lot of people stop to pick something up to eat after work. Why not let them try to win a free meal or two?

Our station did "Fuel or No Fuel" back in the summer when gas prices were around $2.78/gallon. Basically we gave away gas cards, but the methodology allowed us to have fun and not make it a boring "be caller 10 to win contest".
HOME RUN with the audience.
We attempted to drive TSL by making people listen for the "Fuel Or No Fuel" song of the day, which was announced in morning drive.
Although prices are coming down; they're still high so you could still pull this off.

I ran a contest called "Squeal or No Squeal" when a big motorcycle rally was coming to town (think Harley's or "hogs"). I put 5 pair of rally tickets in 5 of 10 "suitcases", then had contestants call in individually to pick a case. If they picked a case with rally tickets, I played a harley motorcycle revving sfx and they got the tickets. If they chose a case without tickets I played a sfx of Ned Beatty squealing like a pig from the movie Deliverance (ouch!) and they left without a prize.
It was just stupid enough that the phones went crazy. And of course the success of the contest has since led to numerous "stupid yet popular" contests. I love it when listeners actually get it.
The moral of the story: If it sounds stupid but it works, it isn't stupid.
