Rock/Heavy Metal Personality Eddie Trunk Launching Live Video Chats on EddieTrunk.com
Boston and New York -- Popular nationally syndicated FM and satellite radio personality Eddie Trunk, THE respected voice on rock and heavy metal music in radio and television, is no longer content to have his fans just listen – he wants to engage the rock and metal community in a new way with fully interactive online video chats. Trunk, already wildly popular in the number one radio market in the U.S. with his Friday Night Rocks show on New York’s Q104.3, “Eddie Trunk Live” on Sirius/XM radio and the host of VH1 Classic's That Metal Show," is launching the live video chats free for his entire worldwide fan base on Wednesday, July 15, 8:00 p.m. ET via www.eddietrunk.com.
Eddie will field questions from fans while sharing his ever-passionate inside perspective on all aspects of rock/heavy metal news and events, rocking out to the music he loves and dishing on some of his most interesting interviews with rock’s top artists via live streaming video. Normally, only those registered on www.eddietrunk.com as ‘All Access Members’ would have the exclusive opportunity to submit questions and comments throughout the broadcast via live online chat, but for the first few video chats, all registered fans will be able to submit questions and comments. Through Trunk’s partnership with the celebrity services experts at Paid, Inc. (OTCBB: PAYD), and SyncLive’s cutting edge video chat technology, all pre-registered fans can access the live broadcast via streaming video totally free to watch Eddie’s candid responses to their questions and comments.
Trunk’s first interactive webcast will be packed with exciting content brought home from his repeat appearance as celebrity host of Rocklahoma 2009 (www.rocklahoma.com), taking place July 9-12 in Pryor, Oklahoma. Rocklahoma, with a huge following of its own, is the largest ‘80s rock festival in the U.S. Rocklahoma will present over 90 metal bands on four stages, including main stage headliners Anthrax, Ratt, Stryper and Twisted Sister.
“Coming back to New York still pumped from the energy of Rocklahoma will get things off to a flying start,” said Trunk. “I can’t tell you how psyched I am to push the technology envelope into a completely cutting edge, interactive format that enables me to interact directly with fans who share my love of rock on a regular basis no matter where in the world they may be.”
“Eddie’s enthusiasm and love for the music and his fans is always so visible and contagious, so it makes perfect sense to capture and share that in this particularly spontaneous visual mode,” added Keith Garde, Paid celebrity services president. “It will be very exciting to kick off this new facet of Eddie’s online presence at the height of the summer rock festival season and then watch the momentum build within Eddie’s online fan base all year long.”
