ESPN CORPORATE KO'S LOCAL PROMOTION
Courtesy
Philadelphia Daily News
(March 12, 2009) It seems that ESPN has put the kibosh on a promotion between its local sports-talk station, 950 ESPN, and GirlsofPhilly.com.
The Web site of local lovelies and the radio station had teamed up on Battle of the Babes, a March Madness bracket-style competition of 64 models from the soft-core site. 950 ESPN's Mike Missanelli promoted the show on his increasingly popular afternoon show and some tasteful photos of the models were posted on 950espn.com, but after one round of voting, the plug was pulled. Sources tell us that ESPN corporate intervened and was uncomfortable partnering with a Web site full of topless models, a regular advertiser on 950 AM. We reached GirlsofPhilly.com founder Kurt Laufer yesterday, who said, "People are such frickin' prudes. I'm pissed that I wasted two days of my life organizing this promotion. I'm sure their webmaster is upset, too, as he must have dedicated major time to setting up all the brackets." The radio station did not return a request for comment. |
