funny moment on Pandora radio just now ... local spot for an ad between songs, and the person obviously ....

Posted by i'm not dead yet ! (aka pacrat) Jan 15 '14, 11:54

is not from around here. it was an ad for a new AT&T store or some such in Nashville, and the girl is obviously unfamiliar with the area. There's an area on the outskirts of Nashville called Hermitage. (it's the area where Pres. Jackson's Hermitage home is, just for the curious among you) ... around here we pronounce it "HER-muh-tage" ... the girl voicing the ad said "her-meh-TAGE" ...

also, the store location is apparently proximal to Lebanon Road ... in these parts, it's pronounced "LEB-ah-non" ... yup, she said "leb-ANON" ...

so, Dear Pandora, if you're going to do local ad spots, try to be a little more authentic. Please?

It's like if a radio announcer from Mexico City tried to pronounce local place names. - con_carne Jan 15, 12:02
except those ads are read by people in Chicago, NY and LA. -- nm - Remlik Jan 15, 11:57
tangent, back when I was first in college, it was amusing watching my east-coast classmates in a radio performance class try and figure out - znufrii Jan 15, 11:57
