I mean, c'mon, can't they bring a boombox and place it on or near the display table? The SUV's rooftop speakers didn't sound all that great, anyways, and unless the promotional environment is particularly boisterous the speakers can't even be used to their full potential.

You'd think that they could power the speakers with some solar panels and their own sense of self-satisfaction in that they are not hurting Mother Earth.
And for that matter, why does a radio station need an SUV? Does the Zone do a lot of guerilla reporting from the bush? Do they need to switch-on-the-fly their 4x4 to mow through a mosh pit?

Umm yes. Victoria may be tame in many ways but our mosh pits are definitely 4X4 material.
Not to mention the hazards of mall parking lots.

As for the "need' of an SUV... The Zone is a very busy promotional machine and our beast is filled to the gills with broadcast equipment. The Nissan Xterra is an awesome car and I personally wouldn't trade it (well maybe for a hybrid when the economy improves).

This has been an issue we've been trying to resolve since getting the new stereo in the Zone Xterra a few months ago. Trust me, it's been bugging me since we got it. I remember you pointing it out to me the other day, and it solidified that running the stereo doesn't justify idling the vehicle. We will no longer be doing this...if we need to run the roof speakers for an extended period of time we will occasionally start the vehicle to boost the battery.
Thanks for bringing this to...well, someone's attention.
Cheers!

This illustrates the advantage of local radio stations. We couldn't expect the same kind of response from somewhere out of Seattle or Vancouver.

^Who's planning to dismantle local radio?
Phil - could you clarify that? Who suggested dismantling local radio?
