"What's Cookin' Today" with Mike & Paul
Live Monday-Friday (8-9 AM PT) CRN1
Rick Maynard - Communications Director KFC KFC has become known for its unique marketing tactics, including placing its logo on potholes and fire extinguishers to help spread the word about the chain's famously fresh chicken and Fiery Grilled Wings. Now, to launch its new Boneless Filet Box meal, the brand has launched another out-of-the-bucket marketing campaign by inking sports-marketing deals with three professional athletes to help them "Get a Grip" on their sports. Professional golfer and Campbellsville native J.B. Holmes, along with Philadelphia wide receiver Jason Avant and rising tennis star Devin Britton, have all teamed with KFC to test new KFC-branded athletic grips in each of their respective sports. Each athlete will receive a year's supply of free Boneless Filet Box meals in exchange for their expertise in testing the branded grips. Why athletic grips? The Colonel's new Boneless Filet Box meal includes a boneless filet of chicken prepared in KFC's famous 11 herbs and spices. The meatier alternative to chicken strips and nuggets requires you to eat with your hands – and each filet comes in a sleeve to help you "get a grip" while you eat it.

Nancy Gardella - Exec Dir - Martha's Vineyard Chamber of Commerce
The Island of Martha's Vineyard covers roughly 100 square miles, and is home to both year-
round and seasonal residents. Some live "up-island" in the more rural towns of Aquinnah, Chilmark and West Tisbury, and others live "down-island" in the more populous towns of Edgartown, Oak Bluffs and Vineyard Haven (also known as Tisbury). Each Island town is unique in its geography, personality, and character. All blend together to create this special place many of us love to call our home. If possible, take time to visit each of the Island towns during your visit.
