Though Sun Broadcast Group (SBG) has announced it will cease handling network commercial sales for “Floydian Slip” effective April 26, we want to assure affiliate stations and listeners, the show goes on.
Random Precision Media LLC (RPM) of Shelburne, Vt., produces, syndicates and distributes “Floydian Slip” to a network of more than 100 stations.
Since 2014, we’d been under contract for network ad sales with Envision Networks. SBG recently acquired Envision, and last week informed us they intended to drop “Floydian Slip” from its sales offerings.
Unfortunately, they also sent a letter to our affiliate stations erroneously stating SBG is syndicator of our show. Titled “NOTICE OF SYNDICATION/DISTRIBUTION TERMINATION,” the letter offers to provide our stations “affiliation details for replacement programs that are available for your station.”
We’re willing to believe the letter was simply a momentary lapse of reason. Nonetheless, it’s caused confusion and uncertainty among our show’s affiliate stations.
So we want to emphasize: “Floydian Slip” isn’t going away. On the contrary, we’re shining on!
