While I’m still digging my way through all the boxes, I finally have net service hooked up…and one of the first things I stumbled upon while I was catching up was this AP article about the Jack…er, Variety Hits format, featuring a nice link for Lou’s VarietyHits.com site. Very nice.
Big update coming Sunday night…make sure you check back!
The AP link came as a very happy surprise for me. I had no idea it was going to happen (the article’s author did not contact me concerning the story), but it’s meant all sorts of traffic for the site by way of the link in the “on the net” section. The VH site isn’t even a month old yet and already it has received more press coverage than any site I’ve ever created. Newspapers from all over the country picked up the story and put it on their sites, and even Yahoo! got in on the act.
I have links to tophour.net from there, specifically to the markets with Variety Hits stations that we have legal IDs for (i.e. Seattle), so hopefully some of that traffic will make its way over here. I’ll get the new Jack FM Nashville ID next weekend, and I’m having a friend in Dallas record Jack FM Dallas, so those should be on here before too long (and of course I’ll link over to those as well…)
And the ID for Ben-FM in Philadelphia should be in your mailbox right now as well. And I’ll be in Baltimore on Saturday so Jack-FM Baltimore will be here in no time as well.
