We couldn't do what we do at K104.7 without the support of our valued sponsors and producing commercials for them is a big part of my role here. Fortunately, no one has come up with a way to completely automate the creation of advertising. However, there may be a new threat to my job security: dogs.

A burger joint in China has enlisted what appears to be a golden retriever to carry their sign in public places. The dog is so well trained that it actually turns to face potential customers as it walks along its "sales route." How could anyone resist such an adorable marketing campaign? I just hope this pooch never learns to read a radio script into a microphone.

Phil Harris is 50% of "Phil & Mel in the Afternoon" on K104.7. He has been with the station since 2013 and on the air in Charlotte since 2000. Before coming to the Queen City, Phil worked for radio stations in Pittsburgh, Austin, and Seattle. In addition to the weekly "Throwback Threesome" music video feature, Phil writes about things that matter to Charlotte sports fans and pet owners. He happens to be both.
