In the white-hot competitive world that is local radio, this particular station is pulling out all the stops to ensure that everyone enters their competition.
Radio stations the world over run competitions all the time. Some offer prizes of holidays, large amounts of cash, new phones, gym memberships etc., but has any radio station offered you a prize which could ultimately save your life? Thought not.
Check out this tweet from Mid-West Radio luring listeners in yesterday with the bait of a life-saving prize.
Tune into The Tommy Marren Show all this week 9 – 11am for your chance to win a carbon monoxide alarm.

We think it could possibly be the tweet of the year. It’s stunning in its execution, poise and prowess. If that doesn’t convince you to listen to Tommy’s show, nothing will. The replies to the tweet are very entertaining indeed. Ciaran Murphy of Second Captains fame couldn’t contain his excitement:
Does one dare to dream? RT “@radiomidwest: Tune into The Tommy Marren Show all this week for your chance to win a carbon monoxide alarm.”

@saveciaranmurph @radiomidwest I was listening this morning but I must have drifted off as you were doing the comp? Feel a bit light-headed.

@saveciaranmurph @radiomidwest Are the batteries included?

Forget tweet of the day, or tweet of the week, this is tweet of the year and quite possibly, the greatest tweet of all time.
I am now going to make it my business to check out Tommy’s show. How could you not?
