WKRP.FM and EvOR team for unique entertainment and marketing plan to reach fans
WARRENSBURG – Popular internet music community EvOR dot com and Word Wide Web streaming outlet WKRP.FM Entertainment, Inc. have teamed for a unique presentation of free agent musicians (FAM) products, using the new technology.
WKRP.FM (no relation in any way, shape or form to the fictional television series), in conjunction with EvOR and Paypal streams multi-genre music from FAMs’ CDs and makes it easy for listeners to go online and buy the music.
WKRP.FM only streams music from the artists that it supports. Listeners click a link to order the CDs featured in the streaming tracks. CDs are in stock and shipped within 48 hours. Credit card orders are secured and WKRP.FM and EvOR offer a non-credit card payment option.
Most CDs are priced at $12(US) or less each, plus $2(US) shipping and handling, in the United States and abroad. Bootleg CDs are $8.00(US), plus $2.00(US) shipping and handling.
This unique arrangement is among the easiest for music fans to sample and purchase great, original CDs that are unavailable through the commercial market. WRKP is not an Internet radio station. It is an Internet Audio CD Catalog of independent music, showcasing the material it offers for sale.
Veteran radio host and WKRP.FM General Manager Jean-Paul Tertocha and EvOR brainchild Charles Harrelson developed the system from a concept by Jon Bare, who also markets CDs on WKRP.FM
“The focus is to attract the buying public to great indie music,” says Harrelson. “Thousands of music fans will be exposed to talent every bit as capable and at times more entertaining than what the major labels offer. I am sure there is a vast public out there for FAM(Free Agent Musicians) product and now we have the capability to expose them to it.”
“I am confident about this presentation,” says Tertocha. “WKRP.FM goes out to thousands of listeners all over the world and we are now giving them great programming that they cannot get anywhere else, as well as offering great product they cannot get as easily anywhere else.
“For independent artists to join this online marketing revolution, we suggest visiting the submissions page for all the up-to-the-minute details on submitting CDs. WKRP.FM plays your music, sell your CDs and the artist keeps 75 percent of the selling price.
