WELI is the Clear Channel station in New Haven, CT.<\/p>\n
Jim Masters (no relatiOn to Roy Masters) has been swimming upstream – when most big radio news\/talk stations have no live local programming on weekends, he has been on the air on Saturday and Sunday morning for 19 years, 7 or 8 hours a week.<\/p>\n
He was doing Groupon before most people heard of the internet – he sold coupon deals – Harry’s lobster shack is selling a $25 certificate for only $10, but you have to call in the next three minutes, etc. customers would be set up with a customer # connected to their payment info – “hi, this is customer 15527 – give me the Harry’s lobster deal” – the credit card was charged, the coupon was mailed, some portion of the money goes to the merchant, and the customer tries to use the coupon before the business vanishes.<\/p>\n
