Detroit FM Claims Ratings Boost From In-Car Contests On HD & RDS

Is your car radio able to display information on what station you're on and what song is playing? I doubt it's a big deal on most people's list of auto accessories, but Detroit's WCSX-FM claims it helped boost its ratings significantly.

How? They used the display for a contest to win concert tickets, and claim the results met with huge success.

The future of promotion for in-car radio or a one-off? The medium is infamous for its copycat nature, so we'll see if other stations elsewhere decide to try the same tactic.

I listen to CSX online Sunday mornings from 7-10 to a show called "Easy Over" which plays the "Lighter Side of Classic Rock"
