Yeah, I don't see the point in advertising on sports talk radio, especially since it would just be one market. I'm sure XM would be very expensive to advertise on, since it covers the whole country.
I think, though, that if I sent out a pitch to as many sports talk radio guys as I could dig up, maybe a few might bite and check out the game. Hopefully they'll even mention it on their show.
That's what I'm hoping for there.

I think that if OOTP is going to spend money on advertising, it needs to be *way* better directed than that. For example, sponsoring a podcast like Baseball Prospectus'. SBNation has a lot of statty subforums on it, although the kind of ads they have (lots of alcohol products, cars, etc.) indicate to me that the ads might run a bit on the expensive side there. Maybe getting on podcasts or websites dedicated to strategy gamers - a really wonky, statheadish sales pitch could make fans of, I don't know, Europa Universalis salivate at the idea of OOTP.
Didn't OOTP run an ad in the back of Baseball Weekly or something a few years ago? And didn't it do basically nothing?
