Thanks 96FM

Just as I was leaving work today (98.5 Sonshine FM) I noticed a couple of 4 wheel drives next door to our studios. They were the 96FM Thunders. They travel around various parts of Perth giving out free stuff.

I switched my radio over to their station, waited a couple of minutes, then they announced on-air where they were and that they were about to give away stuff.

I wandered over, grabbed by bundle, thanked them, and headed off.

I scored a 600ml carton of Egg Nog, a pack of crumpets, a couple of small tubs of YoGo (dairy desert), a magazine, a bag thingy and a couple of discount vouchers. Oh … I shouldn’t forget that I was also given a couple of 96FM stickers. I don’t think I’ll be using them.

Being a radio announcer means that I can’t win stuff from my own station but that doesn’t stop me from getting a few bits and pieces from the other stations in town. Thanks guys.

  • So when are we going to see the Sonshine FM Datsun 120Y’s? Or perhaps you could peddle round on the treddly and give out free stuff!

  • The funny thing is, I am using the boss’s work car at the moment while he’s away at a conference.

    It’s a reasonably new Verada with big Sonshine FM logos on the doors and our website address on the back window.

    I hopped out of that car, grabbed my stuff, then back into the Sonshine FM car and off home.

  • You caught me, I clicked the hut link–the colors caught my eye and I couldn’t help myself.

    I bookmarked this site today, and was happily surprised to find a comment from you at mine. Thanks!

  • Nice one Rodney. Of course I was stuck on air in the studio and couldn’t get down to the cars to receive any freebies. But that’s OK. Don’t worry about me. I’ll be alright. I don’t need anything. No, no, just take your stuff and go. I don’t care. I’ll keep working. Staying loyal to my listeners. It’s ok! 🙂
