HARDWARE HOMAGE!

There may be many too young to know what a tape recorder was. But, while visiting NPR affiliated client KUOW/Seattle, McVay Media's Holland Cooke got all wistful in the break room where staffers munch-their-lunch. The tables are reel-to-reel machines, on respectfully-refurbished original equipment caster wheels, retrofitted with Plexiglas table tops. And, of course, ornamental splicing block, razor blade, grease pencil, and paper leader. If you don't understand that last sentence, it's past your bed time.

You'd HAVE to be "Radio's Best Friend"

You'd HAVE to be "Radio's Best Friend" to sit in the front row! But Art Vuolo (R) was up-front in a SRO session McVay Media's Holland Cooke (L) presented at the Michigan Association of Broadcasters' recent Great Lakes Broadcasting Conference

Romeo (the peacock)

Jim Martin, owner of the Number One Rated Cluster in Columbus, GA, sent along this picture of Romeo (the peacock) who is "fanning" for the photographer. Jimbo said that having these peacocks is like having your own NBC logo ... walking around your yard.

Billboard idea

Promotion guru and wizard Paige Nienaber shares this billboard idea. Imagine adding your station logo to this billboard. How good would this be for a News/Talk or a Country station?

Dueling Laptops

McVay New Media President Daniel Anstandig and Executive Vice President Jon Erdahl are working from Jon's home ... on the weekend ... stoked on Red Bull and pecking away at their Apples. We caught the fact that the sun is shining outside. The question is ... Did they work all night ... or is this a shot of The Midnight Sun in Alaska?

Welcome to Canadian Music Week in Toronto

Welcome to Canadian Music Week in Toronto. Mike McVay, Daniel Anstandig, Dave Lange, Chris Byrnes and Mike O'Malley all represented The Advisors Alliance quite nicely. This is a poster that was positioned outside of the conference center door. It's a collector item. Pictured are longtime friends Erica Farber, Fred Jacobs, Valerie Geller and our own Mike and Daniel.



Welcome to Canada and Canadian Music Week ... where every radio station is named Jack. These guys are a breakfast team on ... well ... a station named Jack-FM! They play whatever they want.





This is a LIVE display for the promoters INDIE POOL. They featured what was designed to look like a trashed hotel room, beer bottles and an unconscious woman. They were actually asking people if they wanted to pose with the model. Right! That picture would be titled "Exhibit A" in the divorce trial.
