Good trick? Brilliant? Hardly! It's been done before. By the way, this was suggested in one of the previous wastes of thread space concerning this subject.

Someone totally revamped their imaging, jingles, and website, social networks, and got a new logo?
I wasn't aware that after an idea is used, it's considered null or void.
Didn't say it was null or void. I simply stated its been done before, that's all.

Its not exactly a completely new logo... just replacing Hot with Brit is not "new" in my opinion.... and the new website still says Hot Hits 95.7 on the top banner and weather... and the "new" web address simply redirects you back to the old site... But it did get people talking about it which was likely its purpose.

Nice enough lady - I've had the pleasure. But she doesn't have enough material to support a full time format. This sort of thing doesn't even work for artists with large libraries like the Beatles and Elvis - I look for it to be a temporary stunt, gone in a few days.

Agreed. Welcome to Houston.

Thanks! Another thought - doesn't Brit have a concert here tomorrow night? They flip it for a couple of days to promote the concert, then flip it back after the concert.

Its only for the day...they said Hot 95-7 will be back at midnight. They are giving away Britney Spears tckets for tonights sold out show all day whenever you hear a NON britney song... plus britney prize packs all day. And the pussycat dolls (they are opening for britney tonight) are coming to the station to host their fave britney songs during the hot 5@5 with listeners. Booker also said there is gonna be some britney mix show segments from Dj riddler all day today. If nothing else...there is TONS of cume from the weekend on HOT, and LOTS of in and out cume today on hot. This kind of thing has ALWAYS worked for radio stations.
Remember when the whole SAVE THE BUZZ thing happened? People don't remember what happened on yesterdays show...but they remember when SAVE THE BUZZ happened. And other similar things. You don't have to like this idea, and it may not be the most original in radio history... but it will be remembered and it had a HUGE buzz all over this city all weekend. Therefore, job was done.

I think they are already gone. All I can say is - HOT has a lot more class than KHKS in DFW - they made a joke about Britney's medication. Pathetic. New low - and they just alienated a whole lot of women with the same condition. What is next - make fun of people in wheelchairs?

And they have! It dosen't make it right, but it was no less of a "low" than Family Guy or any comedian, as you stated.

I can think of another four-letter word that ends in "it" that it sounds like. 
I will give them props though. It's a good marketing tool to help promote Brit's concert. They are playing well to their demos.
I just wished they were still catering to the 35-64 demos, and it was KHJZ still.

Some things are off limits, and violate good taste. Making fun of somebody who has a medical condition is one. As far as comedians go - there are some that do not rely on such tactics, and are just as funny, if not more so, than bigoted things like "Family Guy". The comedy team of Drake and Josh, for one.

Actually, bipolar syndrome doesn't discriminate along gender lines. An estimated 4 million American adults have been diagnosed. They're also discovering that a whole heck of a lot of children who have been diagnosed ADHD and treated with stimulants aren't actually getting better because they were misdiagnosed in the past, and now must be rediagnosed and remedicated to treat what's actually bipolar syndrome. So, add another 3.5 million children who have it to that number of 4 million adults.
Nope, not funny.
