She 'becomes inspired' and says she 'must' get on that radio show. It was really contrived. <BR/><BR/>Obviously, the house will sell much more easily if you have a free advertisement for it by appearing on a radio broadcast. I'm sure that once the radio show hosts learned that TLC was involved they jumped at the chance of appearing on TV.<BR/><BR/>All in an effort to get the homes sold and make the viewing audience believe that the housing market is not as bad as it seems. Guess what, it's worse than it seems.Paul E.
