One of a number of new station ID's I made for WPRB 103.3 FM in Princeton, New Jersey.

But is it vegan friendly? Asking for a friend.
That is perfect
Fran, are we humor kin, or are you just teasing me…🥓🥓🥓🥓
Did someone say Bacon?
WPRB is not bacon.
I mentioned Jerry Galvin in a separate comment but this is Stan Freberg level advertising. Reveal to the public just a little more information than the product manufacturer would probably want, be funny without insulting the buying public's intelligence, and they will beat a path to the client's door. The Sunsweet Pitted Prune ad campaign is a storied example but Freberg's Zagnut debut campaign is probably the more apposite example.
Fran I found something you may be interested in. I went to possibly purchase an old school house in Minnesota last week and inside there was a lot of antique furniture like desk and things but in one room I saw a fototronic photographic line composing machine. It had to be nearly 100 years old and looked to be in fairly decent shape considering everything in that school was destroyed. It's sitting in the only room that isn't destroyed lol. I thought of you when I saw it. Do you know anything about it? I have a picture of the serial number plate. But I can always get more and I know the guy is willing to sell anything in there. He has dropped his price on the school several times but the building is essentially worthless now since he allowed the roof to break and just sit there and rot. It's a shame really. I was going to purchase it for my girlfriend and kids. It would have made a perfect house if it was still in decent enough condition. If you are interested in it let me know. I can send you the info for the owner or I can send you my info and I can get more pictures
Fran, do you know of Cincinnati radio impressario Jerry Galvin, host, with Myron Bennett, of "Talk Back" in the middle 1980s? He famously recorded a series of fake radio ads for the so-called "Plummet Mall": "The best value in town, is in a hole in the ground." The real purpose of the advertising spots was to demonstrate the power of radio advertising, and Galvin's ad agency got new clients in droves as ordinary Cincinnatians were completely convinced by the hoax. If you do a YouTube search for "Plummet Mall" you'll find these deliciously deadpan and false radio ads, which actually convinced Galvin's own mother, who was wrathful towards her son when she found out she'd been had.
Galvin's "Talk Back" syndicated by many NPR affiliates, including WFPL 89.3 in Louisville, was a two hour Sunday night call-in show, complete with 800 number, where Jerry would announce an obviously completely false and bogus fabrication and tissue of lies as the "topic" ("scam"), at the top of the show, and the minute the phones opened up, dozens of callers, including many regulars, would pour in to say, "Oh, yes, and, additionally, I heard that…." and add their own creative improvisations to the pile of hilarity. I was on the show a few times in middle school. A few really precious times, the call-in audience seized on a different aspect of the joke topic than the hosts and producers had in mind, and the show would be mirthfully ripped from the grasp of the hosts, by its dedicated citizen-improv-comedian audience. It was a really special show.
Now I need some…
BACON!!!
We are amused
Not sure about the copywrite on this one.
Mhh bacon 🤤 Warning: Do NOT lick the radio, risk of electric shock.
Old TV ad for Beggin' Strips for dogs. Classic!
I haven't thought of that ad series in years It's; probably not since some show like SNL did a parody of it about having Kevin Bacon as a guest star
Seems like a very long station ident… Stations in the UK would rather shoehorn another advert in I think.
