Rather Be On The Radio
• In a groundbreaking new partnership, AXS TV and KMG Networks, a division of Krantz Media Group, will now bring AXS TV’s popular original series The Big Interview with Dan Rather to radio stations across this great land. Affiliates already on board include WABC/New York, KQRS/Minneapolis, KZEL/Eugene, OR, WXTL/Syracuse and WGWE/Buffalo. Stations will get an audio version of the archived AXS TV show, as well as the corresponding video segment to play on their websites, mobile apps, and other social media channels, along with custom liners and promos from your host, legendary newsman Dan Rather. Ad sales will be handled by Westwood One.
“AXS TV is proud to announce this exciting first-of-its-kind audio partnership with KMG Networks,” said Jeff Cuban, Chief Operating Officer of AXS TV. “Giving listeners with a love for rock and roll an opportunity to hear some of Dan Rather’s best interviews over the years will act as a perfect promotional launching pad as we gear up for the season premiere of The Big Interview on March 13. Stations around the country now have access to an impressive roster of unique, insightful, and candid conversations Dan had with some of the most influential figures in rock, including Crosby, Stills & Nash, Gene Simmons, Carlos Santana, Pat Benatar, Heart, Gregg Allman, Bryan Adams, John Fogerty, Sammy Hagar, Neil Young, Billy Gibbons and Roger Waters.”
Gary Krantz, Founder & CEO of KMG said, “The minute this series launched in 2013, I knew we could eventually bring it to radio. Those who listen to the classic rock-based formats grew up watching Dan on television every night. He has the ability to reach deep within the artists he is talking to, making them more willing to be quite revealing. These are unique conversations that show a different side of the biggest artists and musicians in the world.” Stations interested in The Big Interview with Dan Rather may contact KMG Networks at 201-400-3682 or email programming@krantzmediagroup.com.
