BON JOVI TAKES CENTER STAGE ON INFINITY BROADCASTING STATIONS ACROSS THE COUNTRY FOR NOVEMBER 16 LAUNCH OF "100,000,000 BON JOVI FANS CAN'T BE WRONG"
Legendary Band To Participate In Multi-Platform "STREET DATE" Campaign, Including Live Interviews, Music Biography and Exclusive Listener Promotion
"Bon Jovi: The Naked Truth" One-Hour Documentary Debuts Weekend of November 20
Rock legends Bon
Jovi and Infinity Broadcasting have teamed up to celebrate the debut of the
band's 100,000,000 BON JOVI FANS CAN'T BE WRONG, a four CD, 50-song collection
(plus a DVD) comprised largely of previously unreleased recordings from the
band's vast archive, with a comprehensive campaign that will be broadcast on 19
Infinity radio stations across the country beginning on Tuesday, Nov. 16.
On the day the box set debuts (11/16), Jon Bon Jovi
and Richie Sambora will participate in STREET DATE LIVE and conduct personal
interviews with the morning shows of the 19 select
stations (see attached list).
Listeners
from each station will also have the opportunity to win a trip to Atlantic City to attend a
Bon Jovi concert on Sunday, Nov. 21 and join the band on stage for part
of the show.
Hosted by Infinity's Rob Barnett, BON JOVI: THE NAKED TRUTH is a
one-hour special featuring personal conversation with Bon Jovi
and Richie Sambora that
goes beyond the traditional behind-the-scenes look at the band.
Broadcast on the same 19 stations during the
weekend of Nov. 20, the program delves into Bon Jovi's past, present and
future, as well as the highs and lows they've experienced throughout their
career.
THE NAKED TRUTH also highlights
the music that made them famous and brought them critical acclaim.
100,000,000 BON
JOVI FANS CAN'T BE WRONG celebrates the 20th anniversary of the
band's debut album.
Since 1984, Bon Jovi have performed more than 2500
concerts in 50 countries before more than 32 million concertgoers.
