Didn't their daddies teach them that acknowledging your enemies only enhances their credibility with those who remain on the fence?

Sounds about right. They kept talking about Pratt for what...a year after he left? Way to keep your competition top of mind, guys!

Billy Pratt was actually a funny impression. I would listen to that for 10 years after he is gone. Stations shouldn't hold back cause of other dj's in town. If you wanna talk about others who really cares.
 
I'm a big Holmburg fan thats the main morning show i liste to. But I dont think KUPD has to make an effort to snatch Sterns listeners Holmburg is a hell of alot funnier then stern and I think now that stern is gone most of the listeners will migrate to KUPD.

The busboards just show Sandipsky's stupidity. They should be selling Holmberg in a positive manner. Selling on a negative psychologically turns people off.

A good show is a good show. Sell that. They can't really think they're going to get new listeners by telling them what mistakes not to make. The first thing the "Sirius Mistake" busboard makes me think about is "Sirius", not Holmberg or KUPD. Of course, I'm a certified ahole, and always strive to do the opposite in situations like this.

Duh
 
Who is the PD for KUPD?

Does anyone know the PD, and his/her email?

Agreed. I learned a long time ago that if you're winning the battle, you don't mention your competition at all. They don't exist. Never give your listeners the opportunity to recall their name or call letters next time they get a diary in the mail.

KUPD has won by forfeit, but I think the rule still applies.

Holmberg is a funny guy in his own right, and now has a unique selling point for his show. It's the only one on a full signal (sorry Edge) that's targeting the same audience Stern was.

To use a football analogy, KUPD's got the ball, and they're wide open all the way to the end zone. They should run with it, and not look back. Talking about Stern or Sirius is like stopping to watch the highlights from another game on the big screen.

Holmberg is the only game in town for former Stern listeners who aren't willing to spend the $ on sirius. All KUPD has to do is pump up the marketing for show (without the Sirius references) and they win by default.

Holmberg's ratings will go up no matter what.
