Imaging outfit Benztown will make Tracy Johnson Media Group’s daily episodic short radio features, Ask Alexa and Tough Love With Siri, available to stations as a combined package.
Now known as Tough Love With Siri and Alexa, the package allows stations to air both features with a single buy, through cash or barter. The customizable comedic radio shorts are for stations of all formats and market sizes, and designed for stations to produce as interactive segments with station talent. Both Alexa’s and Siri’s responses to a daily life advice question from station talent are unexpected, funny, sarcastic.
Written and produced by actor and comedian Brian Moote, stations are provided with scripts so local on-air personalities pose the questions to Alexa and to the iPhone’s Siri to the responses provided in Alexa’s and Siri’s now-ubiquitous voices.
Tough Love With Siri and Alexa is available Monday through Friday and are each designed for stations to produce as a self-contained segment, or as a talent-interactive segment. Each episode is available in three versions: Family-Friendly, PG-13, and Edgy. Stations can sign up online for cash, with a discount for purchasing an entire year in advance.
Tracy Johnson, President, Tracy Johnson Media Group said: “This upgrade adds more options and brings more FUNNY to radio, which research proves is the #1 priority for listeners. We’re excited to add more value to the feature.”
Masa Patterson, VP, Operations and Sales, Benztown, said: “What’s better than one automated voice assistant? Two, of course! Tracy continues to lead the industry with creative and effective programming features and we are thrilled to help stations get their hands on them more easily now.”
