KDKA Radio - Pittsburg, PA - MTH Commercial
Posted by Buckeye Riveter on Sunday, August 1, 2004 8:42 PM
This morning as Mrs. Buckeye and I were motoring home on I-76 east of Akron listening to KDKA in Pittsburg, we were surprised [:O][:O][:O] to hear a commercial for MTH/Railking Trains during the sports show. I can't remember the last time I have heard an ad for a model train on the radio. I have seen ads on TV in the east for hobby shops and model trains.

Has anyone else heard this MTH radio ad? [?][?]

Kooljock, do you know anything about this? [?][?]

My good friend Rob Pratte a KDKA personality is the link to the MTH commercials. He has a great working relationship with Rich Foster at MTH and has been a big influence on getting them to buy Air Time. Every now and then he will have Mike on the air around Christmas time. I've been known to do a "York Report" when I get home early the next morning. He is a big train nut. His layout is featured on my site as well. Check it out in the photo albums.
