WBBM 10pm Anchor Promo

Rob and Dianne! Dianne and Rob!

WCBS Doppler 2 Million

If you've never seen this - you should. It is a parody of Million Dollar Baby and features a very funny impression of Sam Champion.

Turning the Tables on News

Have you ever had your competition steal a sweeps story from you - after seeing your promos?

It happens and apparently someone thinks it has happened in Kansas City. So what did they do? Turn the tables on the news director at KCTV by doing their own ambush interview. Check it out:

It is interesting to see when a station trys to steal another's thunder. I've never been part of doing it - only part of the station that was being copied. An interesting, very aggressive sweeps tactic.

What do you think? All's fair in love and (sweeps) war? or that's too sleezy, even for you?

You'll have to go to the site - as it won't allow embedding. It's worth it.

I love pranks

Ok, this has nothing to do with promos - but during sweeps - we can all use a laugh.
