Review from Holly K.

This review is not just about 660 News, but about the marketing department of Rogers Media Group (they own advertising on many stations - 960 Fan AM, Lite96, etc)
OK, here I go again with my little country song about small business, mean ex and the dog that ran away ... well I didn't have a dog.
What I had was an idea to get more advertising venues for my business.
Since I listen to 660 religiously and I do believe many people do, one day I was able to have a pen and paper at the right time in the right place to write down their advertising department info.
One of the most successful moves of mine.
You know, how they have those traffic updates... Perfect fit for what I do. So I was kind of targeting that little air window when I called them first.
BUT THIS IS WHAT I GOT:
- One hour meeting with their marketing directors. People, we are talking ONE HOUR! What's best, there was no signs of fidgeting, looking at a watch, looking through the window on their side! They paid close attention to everything I had to say (and boy, do I always have a lot to say!)
- Great support of my business idea
- Detailed research on potential audience
- Great package deal at a great discount
- FREE sample of air ad
- Did I mention the undivided attention yet?
WHAT I DID NOT GET:
- Pressure to buy air time
- Pressure to buy it now
- Pressure to buy air time for stations I did not care for
- Pressure to agree
- Pressure to cut my speeches short and just go with a template
I would definitely recommend this type of advertising to any small business owner! I mean - the pricing is very affordable (well, still have to have the funds, though). Customer service is excellent. Productivity is very high.
Now... where do I go with my little country song about small business, mean ex and the dog that ran away?Listed in: Best Places for Small Business…

For someone who doesn't have cable and therefore cannot watch local television (yes, that would be me), listening to 660 News is perfect. You get the highlights of the latest news and traffic issues within seconds to minutes of tuning in because everything repeats so frequently. I also like that they throw in snippets of entertainment news as well. Small doses off 660 throughout the day is all you need unless you're total news junkie, but most of it is negative anyway, so what's the point in focusing so much time on it?
You know you're getting old when the first thing you do is turn to news and weather vs music and ridiculous DJ's first thing in the morning, but I've decided I'm okay with that. I've busted other friends doing it too, so at least we're all on the same page! -

All right...I know what you're gonna say: I'm a huge loser for being a massive fan of a news radio network. However, these guys kick some serious ass. Running on a ten-minute schedule, they offer traffic and weather together on the ones, frequent and up-to-date news coverage, the best business coverage in the city, sports every twenty minutes or so, and few advertisements.
Of course, their personalities are among the finest anchors in broadcasting. Trace is totally my favourite. David Spence, from CTV, provides accurate meteorological coverage and perfect weather reporting that Calgarians have come to know and trust.
660 News is the place to find out what's truly up in our city.
