Radio Remote Broadcasts

"Lanigan did a personal appearance-no remote stuff since it was at night-at the Strongsville Haunted Forest, I was running around with him at the time, but that's a story best left untold. I know he did live remotes from Shooters [I believe] on Saint Patrick's Day."

Lanigan did some pretty cool remotes. I remember that Lanigan and Kullik did their show live from Hong Kong during the 1997 handover and went live from London and Washington. All of these ended when WMJI was sold to Clear Channel (iHeart) and they fired a bunch of people and cut the budget.

Not that I am aware of. What would he be selling?

Before he got into radio, Sullivan owned a chain of hardware stores in the Cincy area, and has been in the DIY game since he was a kid (starting as a hardware store stock boy, rising through the ranks, and eventually owning the company)

You know how Angelo Petitti does a show on WTAM during gardening season (which also serves as a thinly veiled infomercial for his nurseries), well Sullivan did the same thing in Cincy in the late 90s, doing a DIY show on local Cincy radio (which also plugged his hardware stores), it got syndicated nationally in 2001, and the rest is history.

Sullivan does plug all kinds of tools and hardware goodies on his show, so I wouldn't be shocked that when he makes appearances at all these various home and garden/fixer upper/trade shows, he's pushing product.
 
my favorite remote memory... The Real Don O'Neal doing a car remote in Charlotte, NC at Kiss 102, 1990... Don would do his break while breathing the helium from the car lot balloons... talkin' like a duck.
 
That helium reminds me of a live remote back in the early 1990s. It started at 4pm and ran until midnight at a car dealer. Every station in the area was there. Within about 4 hours all of us are doing interviews with one another on the respective radio stations much to the horror of one GM at one station. By 10 that night we had a severe thunderstorm that lasted about 45 minutes but all of us stayed on doing breaks. The last two hours, not a single person came by so we started inhaling helium on breaks along with the bored salespeople at the dealership and we sounded like ducks. It was a VERY long day, but the dealership ordered in pizzas and we all had a blast working together, getting silly at the end.

That's curious how, in the early 1980s, kids would be asking "What's AM?"
I can tell you that on the other issue of the 45 RPM promo rejects, that could have been a big miss/mistake not to take them. As a collector, I can tell you that there are interesting and, sometimes, valuable things that can be found in collections of that sort.

more middle 80s. And they were pretty much mostly pre-teens.
