If you were assembling the corniest over-the-top radio promo spot you could, what effects would you use?

I'm playing around with vocals in SoundForge and trying to make a promo that sounds like something I'd hear on Hot 97. And thus far it's sounding over-the-top, but it's not really sounding very similar to what I hear on the air. Suggestions?

Cathedral reverb w/shitloads of over-compression.

Sometimes you'll hear the change-delay-time-during-repeats pitch shift thing in those spots. You know, where they repeat a word at different pitches sounding like the tape's being sped up and slowed down...

"At the arena... METALLICA (metallica) (METALLICA) (metallica)!!!"

And then, with a ton of compression but with out the delay:

"With special guest... AMY GRAAAAANT!"

Believe it or not, quite a bit of that over-the-top stuff is just the inflection of the guy doing the voice over.
