WCKG Offering Your Business 15 Minutes of Fame ON-AIR

March 26, 2020 By AM 1530 WCKG

Is your business open during the COVID-19 Illinois stay at home order?

Are you working to continue to provide food, professional services, support and other services during this “shut down”?

WCKG wants to talk to you!

Business Interview on WCKG

As you probably know, local businesses need help right now but many don’t feel strong enough to spend money on marketing and advertising. And yet now is the best time to advertise because it’s cheaper, everyone is paying a lot of attention to media, and people REALLY want/need certain things like carry out, delivery and other services.

I’ve found people don’t know what is open and when. And local businesses don’t really know how to get the word out and tell their story while they deal with everything else on their plates.

Since I have studios at home, and I am at home I will be locking myself in the studio and setting up interviews with area business owners and managers to help them share their story and local offers.

You will get their “15 Minutes of Fame” and we’re going to broadcast these interviews on WCKG, via our app, stream and on the WCKG iheartradio channel. We will also post these interviews on WCKG.com and all our social channels -so we can help some of these great businesses reach people who can help them stay open.

  • If the workload becomes too heavy for me to handle alone, I might call on my fellow broadcasters who are equipped to help if they can.
  • Right now, it would be great to get the ball rolling with some great food service businesses, as well as professional services like attorneys and other service based businesses.

WCKG is offering 15 minute ON-AIR interviews with local business owners and managers in Chicago and the Suburbs. This is your chance to tell your story, and share how your business is helping the people in Chicagoland during this COVID-19 crisis. Station Manager Matt Dubiel is quarantined in his studio, ready to take your phone or skype call. Your interview will be broadcast on WCKG and across WCKG’s social media channels to help people in your area find you. Best of all, this service is 100% no cost.

I am Matt Dubiel, General Manager of AM 1530 WCKG. All of us here at WCKG sympathize with the Chicago area businesses hit so hard by these trying economic times. In order to help you, we are offering free 15 minutes ON-AIR interviews with local business owners and managers in Chicago and the Suburbs.  When this crisis is over, we’ll go back to our regular programming. Until then, remember – We’re all in this together. AM 1530 WCKG – the station with a heart!

In the meantime, to help manage this and keep the process streamlined we’ve set up a pre-interview form for people who want to take us up on this opportunity. https://www.wckg.com/interview
