Regis & Kelly came up with a great promotion to get hundreds of radio stations to talk about… Regis & Kelly.

They are holding a "female cohost" contest in which a female radio jock will co-host the show with Regis Philbin at some future date. Many jocks in Atlanta solicited for fans to submit nominations to the show and three ended up making the top 100 list:

-

Jenn Hobby
