(VIDEO) Fox Interviews Dickey About SweetJack

10-2-2012

Cumulus CEO Lew Dickey gets national Television promotion on the Fox Business Channel to talk up his Daily Deals program. Fox interviewed Dickey for 4 minutes where he explained how using radio's tremendous reach, and Cumulus' partnership with Clear Channel's 850 radio stations, will help SweetJack compete with Groupon and Living Social. At the end of the piece, the two Fox Business anchors seemed to be shocked at how radio is still relevant. David Assman said, "it's amazing how one of the original electronic media is still as modern today in terms of advertising, maybe even more so."

Seacrest Interviews Ballmer at Opening of CES

1-10-2012

Ryan Seacrest hosted the final Microsoft CES keynote address last night and the syndicated radio star joked he  could be the company's mascot. Microsoft said this would be the last CES where it delivers a keynote address and stage a massive booth. In announcing the decision, the company said its ?product news milestones generally don?t align with the show?s January timing.?

During a discussion of Windows PCs, Seacrest noted that Microsoft faces new competition from the iPad and Android tablets. ?Nothing better than good competition,? Ballmer says. ?It?s a great thing, and I?m glad we?ve got Windows.?

Ballmer also said Microsoft has now sold 66 million Xbox 360s, with more than nearly 40 million Xbox Live users, and 18 million Kinect sensors sold. He also said Xbox Live will be adding content from Fox broadcast shows, Fox News and other News Corp properties in 2012. That will add to a large library of live and recorded television launched by Xbox Live in the U.S. this fall.
