Review of News Rap
Andy is a prep cook at a pizza joint -- he listens 7 days a week and has never pledged...and feels guilty. KUOW has never let him down, and he does want to keep it on the air -- he will participate now...he promises. To help stop the drive!
The best part of this spot is Andy's total honesty and sincerity.
