Following “Shark Tank” Appearance -
OCTOBER 22, 2013, BURBANK, CA —
Benztown Radio Networks announced today that nationally syndicated radio show, Sunday Night Slow Jams, has a major new
sponsor, legal services firm Jackson and Associates Law Centers, as a result of
the show’s exposure on the October 11th episode of “Shark Tank” on
the ABC Television Network. Bakersfield-based Jackson and Associates contacted
the show’s creator and producer, R Dub!, the Monday after the “Shark Tank”
episode aired, and signed a one-year digital sponsorship deal for $75,000 last
Friday. Sunday Night Slow Jams is a four-hour
weekly radio show that airs in over 70 markets and features Rhythmic and Pop
love songs and listener dedications called “Oral Expressions.”
Jackson and Associates will
sponsor Sunday Night Slow Jams’
digital initiatives for one year, including www.slowjams.com, the launch of
the new Slow Jams App, Slow Jams’
streaming and social media platforms, texting campaigns and dedication and
request telephone lines and digital entry submissions.
Sunday
Night Slow Jams
also welcomed a bonanza of new affiliates in the week following R Dub’s “Shark
Tank” appearance, including: KKWD-FM, Oklahoma City (Rhythm); WWZY-FM, Jersey Shore (Hot AC); and
KKBB-FM, Bakersfield (Rhythmic AC).
R Dub!, Sunday Night
Slow Jams Host and President of Fusion Radio Networks, said: “Being one of 40,000 applicants to
appear on ‘Shark Tank’ was a dream come true for me! The opportunity to market
the Slow Jams brand to 6.5 million potential new customers and meet the Sharks
while appearing on one of my favorite television shows was one of the best
experiences of my life. I’m so happy that the folks at Jackson and Associates
understand the value of the Slow Jams brand and community of listeners across
America-- and the power and effectiveness of radio. I’m also thrilled to
welcome these great new affiliates to the Slow Jams family. I’d like to thank
all of our radio station affiliates and program directors, my partners at
Benztown and Compass Media, and our listeners, whose belief in the show makes Slow Jams successful, book after book.”
Steven Thompson, Firm Administrator/Attorney
for Jackson and Associates, said: “We’ve been fans of R Dub! and Sunday Night Slow Jams for some time now. After seeing him on
Shark Tank, the staff and I got together and realized Slow Jams would be the perfect medium to deliver our message to
potential
new
clients.”
Sunday Night Slow Jams (www.slowjams.com)
and the nightly version, Slow Jams with R
Dub!, feature the hottest love songs from today's biggest artists. The show comes in different versions and can
