Renowned Rock/Heavy Metal Radio and TV Personality Eddie Trunk Engages Paid, Inc. for Promotions and Web Site Management
Popular national syndicated FM and satellite radio personality EDDIE
TRUNK has contracted Paid, Inc. (OTCBB:PAYD) to design, build and manage
a new web site, as well as to develop and handle merchandising, mobile
promotions and fan community relations.
This partnership will allow fans to purchase merchandise related to
Eddie himself or to the rock and heavy metal music he plays on his
weekly radio shows, "EDDIE TRUNK LIVE”
on XM satellite radio and "EDDIE TRUNK ROCKS,”
which airs live on Q104.3 in his local listening area (New York City,
New Jersey, Long Island and Connecticut), via the internet on various
outlets, and in syndication through New York-based Radio KG Broadcasting
in markets as far reaching as Texas, North Dakota and Washington state.
A 25-year radio veteran with a vast weekly radio audience, EDDIE TRUNK
also appears frequently on television on VH1, VH1 Classic (where he
served as a host and interviewer for five years), and in New York City
for MSG Network where he currently serves as host and interviewer for
music artists of all genres. Simply put, Eddie is THE respected voice in
rock and heavy metal in radio and television. Trunk and his radio
network continually sponsor and host local concert events, and he is now
enlisting Paid celebrity services to add mobile promotions, merchandise
sales and other V.I.P. related offerings for the events.
Trunk has a phenomenal reputation as a lifelong expert on all forms of
rock -- its music, history and the larger than life personalities
involved. He also has an extensive history in the music business working
in artist management and as VP of Megaforce Records in the late ‘80s.
He is a crusader for keeping radio fresh, unique and exciting while
playing the music he loves, which includes doing all of his own
programming and producing in addition to hosting his shows, which
dominate ratings and draws raves from his numerous celebrity guests and
fans in the nation’s number one radio market
and beyond. Trunk has a tremendous impact on his audience that stretches
far across and outside the United States, to an international fan base
who listen to his local show’s rebroadcast at www.knac.com.
Trunk connects to his audience with a knowledge and passion for what he
does. His shows are appointment listening and mix music, talk,
interview, calls and opinion.
Eddie Trunk is very well known as a national figure, and there is
significant potential for promotions, activities and events both on and
offline nationwide as he broadens his audience.
Trunk stated, "My fans are accustomed to
accessing my show on the Web, and I’m excited
to leverage an incredible opportunity with Paid to offer them a richer
fan experience right then and there, by linking in exclusive member-only
merchandise, V.I.P. ticketing, online and mobile content and other fresh
approaches that mix very well with my passion for metal and my loyal
listeners who share that passion.” "To fans, EDDIE TRUNK is as legendary as the
music and musicians themselves. And to the celebrities, he is not just
an expert, but someone they want to hang out with, hence the constant
stream of big names that appear on his shows for hours at a time,”
said Keith Garde, Paid celebrity services president. "Eddie
accomplishes things that become a part of heavy metal history, like
getting the first real interview with Axl Rose in 15 years and talking
Twisted Sister into a reunion performance after a 14-year split. The
list goes on and on. We are thrilled that by bringing in Paid’s
web site management and other promotional services, we can really
leverage and build on Eddie’s fan base and
his exceptional body of work.”
Paid’s management of the web site www.eddietrunk.com
will create a registered fan base to which it will deliver members-only
access to special communications and events, exclusive archived
materials and an array of merchandise for heavy metal lovers and fans of
Eddie’s radio broadcasts. Especially in the
Northeastern U.S., mobile promotions are expected to add to this fan
base and further build Eddie’s following as
an already super-popular connection to not only the music, but to a long
line of rock celebrities such as Guns N Roses, Ace Frehley, AC/DC, Black
Sabbath, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Van Halen, Aerosmith and Kiss to
name just a few.
