Hi George...since it's summer I remembered a promotion...I believe Johnny did at WNOX. This is one of the BEST I have ever heard of. He asked listeners to TAN the most creative "99 WNOX" on their bodies. I think the prize was a grand. Listeners improvised tape or whatever they could stick on their bodies...before hitting the sun! Hundreds, if not thousands of walking billboards started appearing at pools all over east Tennessee. What a promotion. The DARKER you got...the more the images stood out. People were really into it and yet another fantastic idea that came out of Johnny and the BIG 99. Amazingly creative. (Mike Beach)
