This is happening already. At my former employer in
Rochester, you have "WBEE's **Roadrunner** Traffic"
every morning and afternoon drive. Each report starts
out with something of this nature-- "WBEE Roadrunner
Traffic. <insert sales pitch for Roadrunner internet
service here> Now here's <name of traffic
reporter>..."
And Rochester is not the only place where this is
happening, its happening everywhere. Welcome to 21st
Century marketing and sales...
