(Sean) Hannity to Pitch GM Car Give-Away

Hannity to Pitch GM Car Give-Away

To stimulate consumer interest in its line of American-built cars, General Motors has turned to radio and Sean Hannity. Beginning Sept. 25, Hannity will serve as the spokesperson for GM’s You’re A Great American Car Give-Away, offering radio listeners the chance to pick and win one of five GM vehicles.

One of the largest car give-aways by an auto manufacturer, “it is the largest car give-away in history by a national radio personality,” said Phil Boyce, vp of News/Talk programming for ABC Radio.

GM’s multiplatform campaign combines Hannity’s syndicated radio show broadcast on more than 500 radio stations, including 50 in the top 50 markets, with his Web site, where listeners will be directed to register their names. During his radio show, Hannity will announce one contestant’s name per hour. Listeners will have until 6 a.m. the next morning to send Hannity an email to confirm they’ve heard their name read on the air. The contest runs for five weeks through Nov. 6, when the final car is given away.

The radio promotion comes during a tough period for all automakers, which have been struggling to boost lagging sales. To manage costs, many automakers, GM included, have cut national advertising, while concentrating on local campaigns to drive sales. GM ad spending was down 17.4 percent overall in the first half of this year, while spending on local spot TV grew 11.3 percent, according to TNS Media Intelligence.

In the past I have been very hesitant to say anything negative about Sean on FR.....due to the fact that I love Mark.... Mark loves Sean...and (shhhhhhhhhhh) Mark stalks me on FR (j/k)....
but just when I am about to reach the point to literally blast on Sean.....I remember that I love Ann... and Ann loves Sean....

sheeshk- ya htink between Mark and Ann- one of them could stop his march into becoming a used (in this case new) car salesman-like talk personality.....

oy....

now Ann will NEVER agree to be a guest on the new talk show I am co-hosting! LOL!

He's so overrated.

Not by me.

He's a childish hypocrite......... an arrogant, sanctimonious, self-righteous nasally little goon who hardly ever had a piece of *ss in his younger life (not that there's anything wrong with that).

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Sean is great when he is in Cheerleader mode, but just like most cheerleaders, when he steps out of that mode and tries to think too much, he falls over..

Leave the thinking to Rush, leave the debate to Medved, leave the hellfire and dalmatians to Ann and Mark-
Hannity, just put on your cheerleader outfit and do what you do best...
