The Fresh Drive, Hellopeter and some very sad listeners
I absolutely love listening to DJ Fresh and his team on the afternoon drive on 5fm. I heard about the following complaint against the Fresh Drive on 5fm and I had to head over to Hellopeter and get the full story:
I always listen to 5fm when getting ready. On Wednesday 7 January 2009 I heard an advert to call in NOW to win tickets to Mafikizolo performing at Emperors Palace. I LOVE the group so called in immediately. I got through and spoke to the morning show (Koula and team) they said no- I should call the fresh drive it is their promotion.That's what I did and I actually got through again. Spoke to Fresh and said i'm calling regarding the Mafikizolo tickets. They commented that it was yesterday's promotion. I told them my whole story and said it is false advertising. (which it is)Fresh was very nice and said I should hold the line they will get me tickets. I spoke to Catherine- she took my details and said she'll call me back. She did on the day and said she can't get hold of the promoter but will call me the following day.I never received a phone call from them again.I was really looking forward to my first highlight for 2009 and I'm really dissapointed in the Fresh drive. It seems they only want to sound cool on air and don't follow up on on air promises.
The user on Hellopeter is alidek, she (I think) is a very sorry case. If all you have to do in your day is bitch and moan about calling in a day late for a FREE giveaway, receive personal contact from the on air DJ and members of his team and then still moan after they try and can't help repair your tardy entry to a competition then I am sorry but you need to catch a bloody wake up.Apparently Fresh was notified of the "problem". What this lovely lady decided to omit from her complaint was that Katherine - part of the Fresh Drive team - promised to send the lady CDs to make up for her disappointment. When Fresh found out about this woman's pettiness, he decided to revoke her CD pleasantries from the team and publicly told her off. Good on you Fresh.
