These were a hard foight for 30,000 viewers for when you look at My50 Chicago during the week, you will see station promotions for all other network programing to watch for, BUT you never see any local promotions to watch Monique Caradine's Sunday Talk Show, or The Chicago Urban League's TV News show on the network!!</span></div><div> </div><div><span class="image">Over these years of watching the show, Monique Caradine has passed the hat from her commercial supporters and from local supporters and used her own money to pass out flyers, done weekly e-mail blasts, used <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1304867186_5"><span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1304867934_4">Facebook</span></span> pages and other social media networks, and now that she is back on WVON-AM <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1304867186_6" style="border-bottom:#366388 2px dotted;"><span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1304867934_5" style="border-bottom:#366388 2px dotted;">on Fridays mornings</span></span> to promote and recruit viewers for her weekly Sunday Talk Show. But if Caradine can do all this self promotion that has now having her reach over 30,000 viewera, JUST THINK how many new viewers her show could reach if The FOX Network would actually do some real station promotions on Monique Caradine, as well as the parent station MyFoxChicago (WFLD) could also use Caradine with it's local news outreach on its various special community news broadcasts. The community surely knows her after she became known as "Mo In The Midday" on Chicago's legendary 24hour Black news/talk station WVON-AM 1690.</span></div><div> </div><div><span class="image">Many people end up watching Caradine when they are watching an existing program, or just <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1304867186_7"><span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1304867934_6">channel surfing</span></span>, but Caradine in my judgement in her 15 year broadcasting career as well as The <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1304867186_8" style="border-bottom:#366388 2px dotted;"><span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1304867934_7" style="border-bottom:#366388 2px dotted;">Chicago Urban League</span></span> has earned the right to be better supported by WPWR station and would certainly generate thousands of more viewers if they did more local promotions of these Sunday shows as they do the major network programs. You see absolutely NO local promotion by WPWR on ANY of their local programming promotions of Monique Caradine. Its almost as if they only have these Sunday shows on just to satisfy some local community programming FCC commitment but not seriously promoting viewing the Sunday news shows as they do in regularly reminding viewers to watch"House" and other shows on the station.</span></div><div> </div><div><span class="image">I would make this public appeal to WPWR to make the right decision and start some real investment with new local promotions of The Monique Caradine "Perspectives" TV Show as well as The Chicago Urban League's show <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1304867186_9" style="border-bottom:#366388 2px dotted;"><span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1304867934_8" style="border-bottom:#366388 2px dotted;">on Sundays</span></span> on the My50 station. And I would encourage the local and national FOX stations to use the talents of Monique Caradine for their many special commuinity news outreach efforts since she uses the same station facilities as the other known <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1304867186_10"><span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1304867934_9">FOX News</span></span> persoanlities like Robin Robinson, Darlene Hill and others!!</span></div><div> </div><div><span class="image">Again, with her own grassroots local promotions, she has recently peaked at 30,000 viewers, and JUST THINK of how many more thousands of new viewers Caradine would reach with some real promotion from WPWR.</span></div><div> </div><div><div id="caption"><span class="image"><span class="image"><a target="_blank" href="http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/yhst-92774753351787_2153_7065855"><img class="align-left" src="http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/yhst-92774753351787_2153_7106146?width=120" width="120" alt="yhst-92774753351787_2153_7106146?width=120" /></a></span></span></div></div><div> </div></div>Read more: <a target="_blank" href="http://www.chicagonow.com/blogs/and-the-ordinary-people-said/2011/05/fox-affiliate-wpwr-my50-should-invest-station-pr-into-monique-caradine-show-after-reaching-30000-viewers-on-her-own.html#ixzz1Lm0m6Ayl" style="color:#003399;"><span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1304867186_21">http://www.chicagonow.com/blogs/and-the-ordinary-people-said/2011/05/fox-affiliate-wpwr-my50-should-invest-station-pr-into-monique-caradine-show-after-reaching-30000-viewers-on-her-own.html#ixzz1Lm0m6Ayl</span></a></div></div><div style="font-family:'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif;font-size:14pt;"><br /><div style="font-family:'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif;font-size:12pt;"> </div><div style="font-family:'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif;font-size:12pt;"> </div></div></div></div></div>
