Seeing this ad pop up in the Yahoo.com homepage? It’s a native advertisement that appears just about every single day for me. Anybody else tired of seeing this?
You have to be able to write a 5 car fatal
In journalism they used to say “you have to be able to write a 5 car fatal”.
What does this mean to you as a write or journalist? How about from the perspective of a reader?
Percentage of Population By Timezone
Ever wonder what percentage of the population in the USA lives in which timezone? Well if your a nerd like me then perhaps you have. Today I will post the percentages circa 2006 and when I get time I will post the 2015 numbers so we can compare the change in percentage of populations by timezones throughout North America. Please note this lists does not include Alaska and Hawaii time zones.
2006 Numbers
Total Population of Eastern, Central, Mountain. and Pacific Time zones: 294,471,549
East Coast: 48%
Population: 141,631,478
Central Time Zone : 28.9%
Population: 85,385,031
Mountain Time Zone: 6.3%
Population: 18,715,536
Pacific Time Zone: 16.5%
Population: 48,739,504
What are your predictions for the increases and decreases by time zone? My assumption will be that we will see an increase in Pacific Time Zones and Eastern Time Zone populations with a decrease in Mountain and Central time zones. Arizona was used as Mountain Time Zone not Pacific.
List of 100,000 Watt Radio Stations in the USA
The strongest Effective Radiated Power horizontally allowed in the United States is currently at 100,000 watts. Depending on how that signal is mounted and the surrounding geography depends on how many miles in any direction that signal can reach. In some instances it can be hundred of miles.
As many of you know I am one of the best marketers out there and have continued to refine my marketing skills beyond the digital world also focusing on traditional advertising methods such as direct mail and radio advertising.

*The Obsidian episode does feature somebody who was previously interviewed on a different CNBC.
