We open up side A with some Power 99 production from this month's interviewee, Creative Director Keith Eubanks. On cut 2, WYNU raids a tanning salon and catches a young lady by surprise -- keeping all things equal, their female jock will raid a men's locker room next! We get a couple of "ballsy" promos on cuts 3 and 4. Cut 8 is a creative image promo for KRBE's switch from Power 104 to "104 KRBE - Hits Without the Hype." Cut 9 features Rich Van Slyke's musical talents on the bed and vocals. Cut 11 capitalizes on a well known Miller Lite spot. Cut 12 is from Dennis Daniel's intern, Todd Wilkinson, as written about in the July Tales of the Tape column.

Side B opens with a presentation on WAFX's "Lost Classics" feature (see this month's Tips & Techniques column). Cut 4 offers a new way to advertise your local symphony orchestra. We get a couple of great bits at cuts 9 and 11. Cut 11 was inspired by a CNN report about an American computer dating service that began offering matches with Soviet women. Dan Popp offers a unique announcement about his station's traffic reporter on cut 10. The last two cuts on side B are a couple of "Ad Motivators." (The FM version, cut 12, is 2-track production featuring original music from Al's Alesis and Roland gear.) Produce one of these for your GM or Sales Manager and see if you don't get some brownie points!
