We kick off Side A with a great demo from this month’s interview subject, Chris O’Brien of WYSP, Philadelphia. Read the interview first and get some insight into his style to really appreciate the demo! The rest of Side A is filled with the usual dose of creative commercial work from around the globe.

Side B is devoted chiefly to promos. Patrick O’Regan does a nice job on cut 2, a promo about awards the station’s production department won. Great idea! Cut 3 similarly promotes the station’s creative department. We wrap up Side B with two well-done sweeper montages and a spoof
