So you may have heard (or may not have cared) that what was “Kisn” FM has changed format. Okay, to be more accurate, it’s jumped from FM back to AM, back where it started lo the many years ago on 910-AM. What’s taking its place is something called Charlie, which is (as near as I can tell) a super-MOR format consisting solely of songs that’ve been played to death decades ago. (But that’s just my opinion, don’t let it stop you from giving it a listen to make your own judgement.)
As an aside: They actually voted on “Charlie.” The other options included, and I am not making this up, “Ted,” “Bob,” “Dave,” and a number of other male monikers. No, seriously. Laugh if you want, but it’s true.
You may or may not have known that we recently came up with a new logo for that particular FM station. As part of the branding process, we printed it on all sorts of things. Apparently, one of those things was coffee mugs.
The shipment of mugs arrived… on the very day we made that new logo absolutely obsolete.
I swear, you just can’t make some of this stuff up. This, folks, is part of the joy of working in radio. Heh.

Part of the joy? I thought it was all of the joy *runs and ducks for cover*
Nah, not all of it, snarky-but-adorable woman. Some of the joy comes from getting neat toys to play with, and lots of Internet bandwidth. Heh.
Are the mugs destined for eBay as limited editions?
Reminds me of when I had a rush order of mugs for a IRL promotion I was running for a website, and all the mugs showed up with the wrong colors printed on them because the fulfillment company had transposed the PMS colors. I kept mine for a while but finally got rid of it last year.
Okay… Gotta’ know… How does one get these AWESOME mugs…
Can I call and askt the DJ for…Oh…wait…Riiiight…
Crap.
Why don’t they pick a girl name, like Sally? Then their ad slogan could be “if you knew Sally like I know Sally,” or some other vaguely-naughty stupidity.
