The Crew are on the radio waves quite a bit today and that should be a pressing goal. Likely already beat the amount of times the Crew were on the radio under Anthony Precourt.good luck Austin! The radio is the biggest call-to-action in my opinion and the Crew should attempt to be on the local waves way more often.
Today Dr. Pete Edwards was on 105.7 The Zone and 92.3 WCOL (both interviews are below). As the season draws closer, they have had appearances from Frankie Hejduk, Wil Trapp and the occasional South American player on a Spanish station.
Even if one person drives to work each time and says “you know what I’m taking my family to games,” calls in and gets season tickets. It was certainly worth that hour.
Personally didn’t realize the radio call-to-action until a recent move. Moved to Pittsburgh last year and was stuck in traffic likely double the amount of time as the rest of my life. One thing about the tedium of going nowhere is that I interacted with radio stations way, way more often.
I called into 100.7 (The Bubba Show) for their 15 seconds of free advertising on Thursday’s to try to pimp my side business (Around House Entertainment). Basically you call in and get a free 15 seconds for anything on the radio. Then I called in for a few cash contests on there and 102.5 because I like cash.
But Pittsburgh wasn’t my place which is why I recently moved back home to rural Pennsylvania. In 2008-2009, lived in Downtown Columbus and Columbus is blessed with it’s flatness and grid in comparison among other things.
It may very well be my next move. ?
