Creative Radio 2021: This Week's Under The Influence
Complaining about and constructively judging not so hot radio ads is a regular pastime here on the big yellow board.
This week's episode of UTI, on CBC Radio 1 Thursdays and Saturdays at 11:30 am, features a number of Terry O'Reilly approved exceptionally clever and creative ads, two of which involve Toronto and Newfoundland. Taylor Swift may also get a mention. The Beatles certainly will.
If we're lucky the less inspired local copy writers whose efforts we've been subject to will also be listening and they'll follow the old cliche "good artists borrow, great artists steal."📻🙉🙈🙊💰

Love the show but the first thing that comes to mind when I see UTI is Urinary Tract Infection. A show on marketing should have a better acronym!

Imagine if Terry did a show on unfortunate but funny coincidences in acronyms in branding and marketing.
I do know potato farmers used SPUDS, but darned if I can remember now what it all spelled out.
The best acronym I have ever seen was, as far as I know, created by Benjamin Dreyer, best selling author of "Dreyer's English", Chief Copy Editor at Random House, and a big cheese in the publishing world and hilarious on Twitter.
It goes YHGTBFKMWTS you have got to be f**king kidding me with this s**t. If used sparingly it's a winner.😏

I'm sure newsreaders and newspaper editors throughout the English speaking word are grateful that the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (an armed rebel group in the Philippines) were never significant enough to make international headlines.

Love listening to UTI but I am having difficulty placing Fred Latrimwah. Fred Latrimoe I know, Latrimwah not so much. Fred Latremouille is a Vancouver radio legend. Terry should have gotten his name right.

Yes. That made me sad. Fred was to Vangroovy what Roger Ashby was to Toronto. I am sad that Terry didn’t take the time to get the right pronunciation. Seems odd for someone I consider a perfectionist.
