Pinfield To Host LiveXLive Rock Countdown
• LiveXLive Media has inked legendary radio personality and music historian Matt Pinfield to anchor its weekly rock countdown show — The Weekly Rock Countdown with Matt Pinfield premiered on Monday, June 21, with all-new episodes launching every Monday. Pinfield will also soon begin hosting a weekly “Rock News” segment, which will be a service-wide news feature for all Rock listeners across LiveXLive.
“I’ve had great experiences hosting several streaming events with my good friends at LiveXLive over the last three years,” said Pinfield. “My ultimate favorite was when I zip-lined across a crowd of 150,000 music fans while hosting seven straight nights of concerts for the international broadcast of the Rock In Rio festival! I’m excited to relaunch the new LiveXLive Weekly Rock Countdown.”
The LiveXLive Weekly Rock Countdown is one of six weekly, exclusive, data-driven countdowns LiveXLive produces. Each week Pinfield will share his expansive knowledge of rock history and personal stories about some of music’s biggest talent — while he counts down the top songs of the week based on LiveXLive users’ plays, hearts and shares.
“Matt Pinfield’s expertise and experience with all things ‘Rock’ runs deep,” said Jaime Solis, VP of Product Strategy & Content of LiveXLive. “As the new host of our LiveXLive Weekly Rock Countdown, listeners will benefit from Matt’s extensive knowledge of music history and one-of-a-kind stories. We’re absolutely thrilled to have Matt join our team as the ambassador of all things Rock on LiveXLive, and hosting our LiveXLive Weekly Rock Countdown is just the start.”
