Radio Airplay Update - Thank You's to Stations
*Posted on the 'old OBJ site' on April 2nd

In the past week, WPLJ (NYC) has played Bon Jovi's music like crazy! Today, for instance, I heard "Thank You for Loving Me" on the way to work, "It's My Life" during my lunch hour, and "Never Say Goodbye" during the drive home. So, I picked up the phone and dialed 1-800-321-9755 to say a BIG "THANK YOU" to PLJ for continuing to pump out the Jovi music.

When I spoke with the woman answering the phone, she said "Wow, we were just talking about Bon Jovi - We LOVE them!" Race Taylor had just talked about BJ on the air, but the PLJ staff was talking about the band for awhile in a totally separate conversation.

Seems PLJ has got the fabulous and highly contagious Bon Jovi bug! If you are in 95.5 WPLJ's listening area (NY, NJ metro), please give them a call at 1-800-321-9755 to thank them for continuing to air great Jovi music. You can also email them...

If the radio station(s) in your area play Bon Jovi frequently, please remember to say thanks to them also!
