RFC: Radio For Conservatives
So, I got an amusing bit of blog promo this morning touting a new internet radio station, RFC Radio: Radio For Conservatives. The official launch is at noon today, but you can listen now (as I am in my holiday-thinned office) by clicking through the link. Here's the promo email, including the rank sucking up that induced me to post it:
TigerHawk ~
We carefully deliberated over whether or not to approach you with our Press Release, seeing as you are on the outer cusp of our target age group and all.
We decided you are still cool enough.
Check it out.
The website is live. The Rock is hot. The Talk is cool. The News is...well, the news.
RFC Radio will launch @ noon Eastern on Monday, February 16th, 2009.
We are the biggest, baddest Liberty-minded Internet radio station on the planet. We've got 24/7 streaming News, Rock and Talk. Listen while you browse our website, surf the 'net, check email, clean your gun, write an angry letter to your congressman, or blog on your own conservative or libertarian site.
Our Mission is to Rock!! and "boost the signal" in and between conservative and libertarian camps. We also aim to bust the Rich/Boring/Grumpy/Old White Men conservative stereotype. (This ain't yer Grandpa's radio station!!)
RFC Rock is collected from the albums of the greatest rockers of all time. Most of our play list is hard and classic rock. Some is alternative; some is borderline pop; none is lame. Crank it.
RFC Talk is an eclectic mix of conservative and/or libertarian perspectives. We've got broadcasts, micro-podcasts, interview forums, panel discussions, and guest appearances by conservative pundits, authors, and activists. We've got some Names -- and some Newbies. There's something for everyone – and not everything will be everyone's personal cup o' tea. Check out the Show Schedule and figure it out.
RFC News is gathered from our station Affiliates and trusted sources on the blogosphere.
Warning: RFC Radio is addictive. Listen at your own risk. We are not responsible for job reprimands, spousal complaints, or any hearing loss that may result from listening.
If you like RFC, grab the widget and/or a sticker and add it to your site. And forward this e-mail to everyone you know.
If you hate RFC, grab the widget and add the words "I hate this station" when you add it to your site. And forward the hated link to everyone you know.
If you want to hear yourself on the radio, call our Studio Line at 623-582-3432 and leave a message. If it's funny, or smart, or really, Really stupid, we'll probably play it.
Example 1: "Hi! This is Billy Bob at ConservativeCattleRanchersAreUs.com callin' in from El Paso, Texas! Whooo-doggie!! RFC Radio is hotter than a stolen tamale on the Fourth of July!"
Example 2: "Hi, I'm a liberal and you guys, like, suck. I mean, there's like, nothing on the site about fighting global warming, or gun control, or amnesty for our friends from Mexico, or Michelle Obama's outfit yesterday. And I totally hate that Ted Nugent video on the front page. Eeeeww."
Hope you can drop in and listen on Launch Day.
RFC Radio ROCKS!!
Not bad at all. And we definitely need more conservatives with a sense of humor...
I like. For your convenience, I went ahead and added the widget at the bottom of the right sidebar, so you can scroll down and listen any time.

Between the compliant press and the fairness doctrine, pretty soon underground stuff like this will be the only thing I can listen to. Which means the Democrats will try to control it. Screw Debbie Stabenow and Bill Press: listen to RFC.

Ugh! Screw Debbie Stabenow?
I wonder how the FCC can block "Internet Broadcasts"? The time for all of us is coming.

May I suggest putting it at the top of the sidebar, not the bottom? No one will ever see it way down there.
