The bigger the new idea, the more likely it will boggle the minds of those involved.Consider this: Over a hundred years ago, Alexander Graham Bell supposedly offered his fledgling telephone business to Western Union for $100,000. Western Reaching radio hosts (for the purpose of trying to get booked for an interview) can take on various forms, depending on the type of station the show is done at. What's best? All of them at the same time, of course. But since that's cost prohibitive for almost any guest, you have to pinpoint what will do an acceptable job for an acceptable price. Personal contact with prospective hosts is always the best, done by either by the guest or the booking person. These personal visits are usually only possible in the hometown of the guest or booking person, since radio PR campaigns just don't charge enough to pay someone to visit stations nationally. (Interestingly, high-level music airplay promotion campaigns DO charge enough for personal visits.)

We spoke about how his business was doing, and I asked what he planned on earning this year. His response surprised me:'Making money's not my focus now. I don't really think this is the right time--I'm planning to just hold on until things get better.'James is usually pretty optimistic and 'sur The telephone is the big equalizer in booking interviews.

Most radio interviews are booked on the phone, since you can reach every host in the country, and, since hosts are big phone-people. Plus, radio people are used to being hit with calls from music promoters, syndication promoters, equipment salespeople, audience calls, etc. Two things about the phone, however,... you have to hit the hosts at the right time (especially music-station morning crew hosts/producers), and you have to sound good doing it. Printed ads in radio publications are used by a lot of people who are trying to book interviews, and while these ads do generate "some" calls from smaller stations, I'll go ahead and say that an ad's purpose is not so much to generate calls as it is to build awareness (much like a billboard on the side of the road just builds awareness.) These printed "trade" ads certainly do have a use, but I just would not rely on them to make your phone ring.
