BlogTalkRadio and BlogCritics Partner to Create "BlogCritics Radio"

New Channel To Feature BlogCritics’ Writers and Editors Talking About The Latest in Pop Culture, News, Sports and Technology

NEW YORK, NY – (November 19 , 2007) – BlogTalkRadio, the Internet’s first live social talk radio network for citizen broadcasters, and BlogCritics, one of the most respected and influential independent interactive online magazines, today announced the creation of the new “BlogCritics Radio” Channel on BlogTalkRadio.com.

The new channel will feature a stable of BlogCritics writers and editors covering such topics as Pop Culture, News, Sports and Technology, just to name a few. The hosts will have their own live talk radio shows and be able to conduct round-table discussions with listeners, sharing their views and opinions as a complement to their written commentary that appears on BlogCritics.org.

"BlogTalkRadio gives our writers and readers the power to take their online commentary to the next level" said Eric Olsen, Blogcritics founder and publisher. "BTR's wonderful user-friendly technology affords our personalities the opportunity to make our coverage of popular culture and world events even more immediate and interactive, as well as opening up a variety of topics that full-length article writing and editing time constraints do not allow us to address. BTR also affords another outlet for the many interview opportunities presented to us each day - we are very excited!"

Commenting on the announcement, Alan Levy, CEO and co-founder of BlogTalkRadio stated, “The new BlogCritics Radio channel will provide BlogTalkRadio’s listeners with a plethora of additional shows, opinions and information on a vast array of topics further enhancing BlogTalkRadio’s appeal and reach. Our platform is the natural extension for BlogCritics writers and contributors.”

With this partnership, BlogTalkRadio and BlogCritics will begin to offer advertisers and marketers opportunities to cross promote their brands on both sites, reaching more than 3.5 million users a month.
