YOUR RADIO SHOW PREP FOR TOMORROW

radio show ideas

Assuming you do a live radio show with live listeners, just open the mic and say…

Today’s Radio X Opinion Poll Question: “Would you ever call up a radio station to vote in an opinion poll?”

Call now to let us know:

“Yes, I would call a radio station to vote in an opinion poll.”

or

“No, I’d never call a radio station to vote in an opinion poll.”

Then give a running tally throughout your show.

Just a suggestion….

    I love that kind of humor. Spark debates over non-issues. A station in my sordid past ran a liner kind of like that: “We asked you to tell us what you want in a radio station. You said: ‘We want radio stations to stop asking us what we want in a radio station’.”

    Thanks Dan. I’ll be doing this today. I’ll let you know the results.

    1)

    2)

    3) In my show tonight!

    Thanks, Dan.

    Hmm. That should have read:

    1) COPY

    2) PASTE

    3) In my show tonight.

    Thanks again, Dan.

    Doing it now. The phones are blowing up.

    @Mike: Terrific. Keep giving them updates as though you were reporting on the score of a still-in-progress sporting event.

    I just did this. Not one call.

    What would work with dead listeners, Dan?

    The fact that Mike Bell and Tommy Stone can execute the very same call-in topic and get very different results speaks volumes. Although the topic may be important to your call-in, it’s only one element that determines the success or failure of the feature. Execution, set up, attitude and the relationship you’ve established with your listeners, amongst other elements, come into play.
