Power 97 - sgryzko - 03-25-2009

So who had the pull at Power 97 to get them to play the matchups? That's awesome. I thought it would be a one time thing but I guess not.

I haven't listened yet. Do they mention the hipbase and the contest?

Re: Power 97 - Shane Kroeker - 03-25-2009

I emailed the music director about the idea on the first day of the tournament, and he has been graciously dedicated to playing the songs every weeknight. I believe that every night there has been a plug for the tournament and directing people to vote for their favourite song at <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.hipbase.com">www.hipbase.com</a><!-- w -->.
Take a listen to the broadcast tonight. It makes Hipbasers feel proud!

Did anyone become a member of Hipbase.com because of the Power 97 Plug? I'd be interested in seeing if the tournament generates more members.

Is there a link someone can post to listen? and are there specific times at which they play the songs / plug the tourney and site?

This is just awesome! Usually you would have to line someone's pockets to get this to happen. Living in Buffalo all my life, you fall in love with the likes of Rush, Triumph, Saga, The Hip, etc. and these bands just NEVER get airplay...but I digress!!!

Anyone know what geographical region this radio station is in? Not that it matters with the live internet feed, but I'm curious.

Perhaps this is worth starting a new thread in the Hip Discussion, but here is an interview of Gord at the Power 97 Radio station. http://www.power97.com/Powertv.aspx/

Nice work! I miss Power97, winnipeg has such a good radio market. The good old day in the Peg.

I guess they don't have the hip song at 9:00am anymore?

Stay in school? I played hooky that day, drove to Power 97 and waited in my van for like 90 min for Gord to finish that interview so I could get an autograph. Best day ever. Staying in school doesn't get me GD's autograph! School? BAH I say!
But ya now I have an autographed M@W promo poster.

Close enough, it's been almost 3 years since I lived in the Peg. Good times.
