Radio imaging demo - feedback wanted

The wealth of priceless input I have received here is humbling! I can never thank you enough!

So I finally got a nibble from a five-station cluster out West, which resulted in an education. These days stations, from the biggest to the smallest, are using something called the Phantom Producer. This particular PD told me he pays a VO guy $50 a month and they'll do an unlimited number of liners for him, but usually 10. He then loads the dry VO into the Phantom Producer, and he can then easily re-cut an infinite number of sweeps, liners, stingers, bloops and bleepers with this thing.

I guess I found out why I hear people who sound like production geniuses doing this stuff on the Internet for the price of a sandwich! They're former radio station employees who've been replaced by the Phantom Producer!

Phantom Producer site
 
I just got back from rural WV. Believe it or not there are parts of the USA that do not have decent internet service. I liked you sample. If you could compete price-wise with the Phantom site you might have something. I would make it market exclusive, because the best I can tell the Phantom appears to be open to any one with a credit card. I would present it only to organizations with out a huge dept load. That would most likely eliminate CC /Iheart, Cumulus, and whoever ends up with CBS radio and Radio One.

When I was looking up stations, I double checked for iHeart and Cumulus branding. I figured they probably already have their imaging done at a central location.

As for competing with the Phantom Producer, this guy in Arizona said he's paying someone just $50 a month to cut unlimited promos to feed into this thing, so I don't think I can do better than that. I could, but at that point you're just doing it for the thrill of knowing your voice is on the radio in Arizona.

Thank you for checking in with some thoughts.
