The WFUV coffee mug pitched as if it were a "miracle invention" on an infommercial.

Review of WFUV coffee mug pitch (funny)We could all use a good editor during the pledge drive - especially when it comes to pitching thank you gifts. Most on-air hosts can't seem to help themselves from describing every premium in minuet detail - right down to the pms colors on the mug. By pre-producing the spot, the information is concise and avoids the "home-shopping network" sound that a lot of stations suffer from during pledge drives. (Granted, this spot is suppose to sound like an infommerical!) The one element this spot lacked was a short value/case statement about the importance of WFUV. Humor is subjective and hard to pull off live, so why not pre-produce and guarantee a solid spot like this one from WFUV.

Review of WFUV coffee mug pitch (funny)
An extemely funny piece that reminds the listener of those silly 'Ronco' TV commercials from the 70s. Of course, this is a mug you want. It's a great way for stations to poke fun at themselves while getting the fund-drive message out. I should use for our upcoming fund-drive at WSUI.
