Popular Post tommy dee Posted September 13, 2020 Popular Post Posted September 13, 2020 witht the economy here as it is, the radio station had to make serious cut backs and we did, starting back in January. In march more and along with the abuse of my savings we got thru. Its weird as many say " well it didnt affect media".. truth is of course our only income is advertising and as hotels, diner etc closed, so we lost our revenue too, so I guess we are tier 2 in the " get fucked"list. End July saw the food funding end, and me back to trying to recover business. In the background I did a lot to bring 103 systems very much up to date too. Some may remember my idea, 18 months ago, was to slow down. instead its more full on than ever. As of tomorrow, Monday, I take back the breakfast show too. No fallings out, Its just that our recent morning show presenter has other fish to fry and so now I need to fry my own too Anyway, Its a 4 am not 5 am start and I will be rusty as F***. so if you want to hear more screw ups per hour than any other station, tune in , or listen via alwayspattaya.com Anyone in business here deserves a medal if they are open, Egg included. Nothing is going to improve in 2020, and my thoughts are april 2021 before they open the gates, so between now and then its a survival course for us all 6 1 9
nampla69 Posted September 13, 2020 Posted September 13, 2020 Plus one good lick Tommy. Just keep talking and blathering and you'll be fine broadcasting wise but advertising ...... Jesus good luck mate. 1
Thai Spice Posted September 13, 2020 Posted September 13, 2020 The gym place I went to this morning for a.few beers, opened just before this Corona madness. Clearly a huge investment, and IMO a good one. But bad timing. Anyway, added it to my "regular" places. My way of trying to help local business to survive. 2
Toy Boy Posted September 14, 2020 Posted September 14, 2020 Yeah, best of luck with it mate, I enjoy listening to 103 FM in the car and your news updates. On the subject of advertising revenue, with so many farang-oriented businesses shut or in the doldrums, is it worth trying the Thai authorities who seem to have unlimited funds? I was thinking along the lines of TAT wanting expats to play a bigger role in keeping the domestic tourist industry alive, but their media announcements are usually just so much gibberish. Maybe they could pay you to run a series of adverts to explain what's what to the confused farang population in our area? Or maybe City Hall could give you a few Baht to tout what bargains there are to be had at the local tourist attractions, like free entry to Nong Nuch for the over-60's on a Monday? I guess there must be other places desperately trying to attract custom. Just some thoughts, anyway, take them or leave them. 2
