RADIO ENTREPRENEUR/HOST R DUB! AND SUNDAY NIGHT SLOW JAMS TO BE FEATURED ON ABC’S “SHARK TANK” THIS FRIDAY, OCT. 11
– Recording Artist Brian McKnight Performs in Pitch for Sunday Night Slow Jams
Benztown Radio Networks announced today that radio entrepreneur R Dub!, creator and host of the nationally syndicated radio show, “Sunday Night Slow Jams,” will appear on the October 11th episode of “Shark Tank” on the ABC Television Network. Platinum recording artist Brian McKnight sings to the Sharks when he joins R Dub! as he pitches “Sunday Night Slow Jams,” his four-hour weekly radio show featuring Rhythmic and Pop love songs and listener dedications called “Oral Expressions.” The Sharks in this episode of “Shark Tank” are Mark Cuban, owner and chairman of AXS TV and outspoken owner of the Dallas Mavericks; “Queen of QVC” Lori Greiner; technology innovator Robert Herjavec; fashion and branding expert Daymond John and venture capitalist Kevin O’Leary. The episode airs on Friday, October 11, at 9:00-10:00 p.m. Eastern on the ABC Television Network.
“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, like Mariah Carey, Usher and Drake, and the classics from back in the day, including timeless voices like Aaliyah, R. Kelly and Toni Braxton. R Dub! created “Sunday Night Slow Jams” in 1994 at the age of 17, at a tiny AM radio station in the middle of the Tucson desert. Today, “Sunday Night Slow Jams” can be heard in over 70 cities across the U.S. and around the world. The show is syndicated by Benztown Radio Networks. R Dub! also heads up a 24-hour all-Slow Jams channel on the iHeartRadio network.
ABC Television Network’s “Shark Tank” is back for a fifth season, with the Sharks continuing the search to invest in the best businesses and products that America has to offer. Last season, the critically-acclaimed business-themed show became a ratings force, regularly finishing as Friday night’s No. 1 program on the major networks among Adults 18-49. The Sharks—tough, self-made, multi-millionaire and billionaire tycoons- give budding entrepreneurs the chance to make the American dream come true and potentially secure business deals that could make them millionaires. The entrepreneurs who dare to enter the Tank must try to convince the Sharks to part with their own hard-earned cash and give them the funding they need to turn their dreams into realities. In Season 5, the Sharks are on track to surpass the amount of money offered each season in their investment deals. Over the past four seasons, the Sharks have offered more than $23 million to bankroll a creative array of innovative entrepreneurs. Mark Burnett,
