(New York City) San Diego radio station 600 AM KOGO,
"The Big One," is torturing their radio audience with a
Corkys Pest Control commercial campaign, that has been
running twenty-four hours a day. The commercial done to
the melody of Brenda Lee's 1960 Decca hit "Rockin' Around
the Christmas Tree" features a Weird Al Yankovic chimpmunk
soundalike is neither cute nor funny. Although radio
commercials have struggled the past couple of years some
San Diego radio historical observers are perplexed at
the Corkys Pest Control commercial "too many ads and
advertising that insults the audience's intelligence."
A New York city advertising executive comments "Oh
haven't you heard? It's a new invention called, radio
SPAM," a broadcast consultant states, "Its saturated
the audience after one week now they're turning people
away from using Corkys Pest Control, at all" one radio
late night veteran radio listener exclaims "I just tune
in 640 AM KFI, out of Los Angeles, no more Corkys."
Is Corky's getting their money's worth or the product
of an over ambitious radio salesman? Corkys Pest Control
refuse to comment and a KOGO salesman hung up the phone
when asked to comment. The commercial has been running
nonstop since November 27 2006.
Keywords: Corky's Pest Control, radio KOGO 600 AM, San Diego radio commercial, annyoing, Radio SPAM.
