Anyone in the NYC area that's listened to 1010 WINS news radio could
see how a drinking game based on that station might be fun:

2 shots everytime they say "You give us 22 minutes, we'll give you the
world"
1 shot when they say "Traffic and weather together on the 10s"
3 shots for every "Breaking news" and its associated background
music/effects
1 shot if they say the word "Koszciusko" during a traffic report
2 shots everytime a US Window Factory commercial airs (its VERY
annoying)
1 shot for every commercial for a miracle cure for balding heads
1 shot for every time beep
3 shots for the Mayor's weekly speech
4 shots for a live speech from the President
Nighttime bonus: 1 shot every time they mention the GWB "lower level
inbound is EZPASS only!"

You could probably get real drunk real quickly with this game. Feel
free to post a reply with your additions!!!

Excellent!! Thanks Gerard.

That's probably the only real purpose in life for that annoying buzzfly of
a radio station.

If I were you I'd just buy several bottles and drink them. WINS, on a
cume basis, is probably the most listened to station in the country.
That slogan has been used almost since day one.

WINS is a "just the facts, ma'am" radio station. Those slogans are
recognizable positioning statements that everyone in New York
recognizes.

If you want radio news in New York you probably go to WINS out of
sheer habit. They only break format for wall-to-wall coverage of major
events, never for sports or infomercials. They're New York's crisis
station. They have the radio news franchise wrapped up tight and WCBS
is a distant second in news.

If I owned it I could deal with that.

You'll never get drunk with Traffic & Weather together on the 10s...It's on
the 1s..........now here's pete tauriello...

If you owned WINS, you would also own WCBS, and WFAN, and Stern's
station, and a number of other very powerful stations around the
country.

Also the CBS and UPN TV networks, and Paramount studios, and a huge
billboard company, etc., etc.

In short, you'd be Sumner Redstone, biggest shareholder in Viacom, one
of the richest people in the world. And you probably wouldn't care
much about anything posted in a newsgroup.

Of course, anyone can be a (very small minority) owner of all this.
Just buy some Viacom stock.
