The brainchild of former head of programming Bill Wise at MJI Broadcasting, which was purchased by Premiere Networks in 1999, Today’s Rock Facts was launched by Premiere’s current Senior Director of Rock Programming and Specials Sal Cirrincione and West Coast Prep Producer Dave Schulps in 1993.  Highlights over the last 25 years include hundreds of interviews with every top act from AC/DC to ZZ Top; countless exclusive stories; and on-the-scene coverage of such memorable events as Led Zeppelin’s reunion show in 2007, Woodstock ’94 and ’99, Live Eight, and every Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony and major awards show since the early ’90s, Queen Elizabeth’s Golden Jubilee all-star concert at Buckingham Palace, and the Desert Trip music festival. 

 

“When Today’s Rock Facts was launched in 1993, it set a high standard for the industry and spawned many imitators,” said Cirrincione.  “Twenty five years later, Today’s Rock Facts is still the leader in Rock prep and we’re excited to see where the next 25 years takes us.”

 

Produced for the last 23 years by Steve Reynolds, Today’s Rock Facts continues to provide comprehensive music news to Active Rock and Mainstream Rock stations, as well as Classic Rock stations. Originally delivered to stations via fax, the service is now offered on a brand-new web platform. Half of all Today’s Rock Facts customers have been affiliates for more than 10 years, including WAXQ – New York, WAAF – Boston, KTBZ – Houston, WWDC – Washington, D.C., WRIF – Detroit and KSHE – St. Louis.
