Tuning In: Radio News (3/23/12)

March 23, 2012/by Freeman

Kudos to Clear Channel’s KAJA/San Antonio, for raising over $517,000 on behalf of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital during its March 15-16 Country Cares radiothon. This was the station’s third year to run a St. Jude event, and marks a 27% increase over funds collected in 2011. In total, the station has raised over $1.2 million for St. Jude.

Premiere Radio Networks’ Big D & Bubba are on a quest to lose 100 pounds in 100 days. You might think that number divides down pretty easily day-by-day, but if you’ve seen this then you know math is pretty doggone tricky. In this response video, newly minted WMN regional Katie Bright and tv personality Shane Tallant attempt to crack the 100 pounds in 100 days equation.

WIL/St. Louis has announced the 2012 edition of its “Cornbread Idol” competition, which will be held 1-4 pm Saturday, March 31 at Wild Country in Collinsville Illinois. The first 75 contestants will have 90 seconds to perform a cappella. WIL staff members will make video clips of the contestants and listeners will vote for their favorites at www.wil92.com over the next three weeks until a winner is named. That individual gets a chance to perform during a taping of WIL’s St. Louis Country TV Show, a chance to perform at an additional WIL event, and a pair of Bandana’s BBQ Mega Tickets to each country show this Summer at Verizon Wireless Amphitheater.

Bold Gold Media’s WDNB/Liberty, NY will host its 7th Annual Thunder 102 ThunderBash on May 19, at the Monticello Casino & Raceway.

The station will be taking donations at the door to benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and the YMCA of Sullivan County’s Strong Kids Campaign.
