You have a good sense of what is news and what is hype &#8211; unlike your source (ABC) some of the other media outlets, local and national.<\/p>\n<p>I especially applaud you on your advertising being local and tasteful &#8211; and free of the ultra annoying doubleclick, Bonzi Buddy, weatherbug<\/p>\n<p>and google addcents offerings. It&#8217;s a reflection of the radio station\/broadcast in that there is a level of professionalism immediately apparent.<\/p>\n<p>Question: Is it hard to maintain this higher standard in this day of flashing, obnoxious ads and content? Do you feel that there is a higher reward and\/or return in such a high standard? Or does your web market simply make it impossible to do otherwise?<\/p>\n<p><strong>ANSWER<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to share them.<\/p>\n<p>We have done our best to make <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ktbb.com\" rel=\"nofollow\">http:\/\/www.ktbb.com<\/a> the best possible reflection of our commitment to high standards on the air at Newstalk 600 KTBB.We want there to be a seamless relationship between what we do on the radio and what we do on the web.<\/p>\n<p>We decline opportunities to sell advertising on KTBB AM 600 nearly every week. Most of the ads we decline are selling things we can&#8217;t in good conscience inflict on our listeners. Examples include products that purport to enhance sexual performance, get-rich-quick-in-the-comfort-of-your-home schemes, miracle weight loss products, multi-level marketing programs and other products and services that are fraudulent, close to fraudulent or in bad taste.<\/p>\n<p>Less frequently, we decline advertising on KTBB AM 600 because the commercial is overly loud or is in some other way obnoxious or offensive.<\/p>\n<p>We attempt to apply the same standards to our websites, including <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ktbb.com\" rel=\"nofollow\">http:\/\/www.ktbb.com<\/a>. We pursue good content, we try to present it in a useful way that is pleasing to the eye and easy to navigate and we do not pursue advertising revenue opportunities that we don&#8217;t control.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, you will not see &#8220;hit the monkey&#8221; ads or pop-ups or Google ads on ktbb.com.<\/p>\n<p>It is more gratifying than I can tell you that you noticed.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for coming to the site and thanks for sharing your input with us.<\/p>\n<p>Paul L.
