27: Rock Hall '19 Induction w/ Sal Cirrincione

Our buddy Sal joined us on the podcast this morning after
attending the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony
over the weekend. We got his perspective on how things went and
what folks have to look forward to when they see select portions
on HBO.


We also planned a trip to hang out and watch Baseball.


A native of Brooklyn, New York, Sal Cirrincione got his start in
1983 at the legendary WNEW-FM/AM in New York City where he worked
in news production, promotion and as a producer for remote
broadcasts. In 1987, he headed to Connecticut to become a
promotion director at WRKI in Danbury, followed by, in the same
role, WHCN in Hartford.


In 1990, Sal returned to New York City, first taking a position
at Neer Perfect Productions, followed three years later by MJI
Broadcasting where he created a daily music news and audio
service for rock radio. Today’s Rock Facts, and its spinoff, The
Classic Daily, are still the leading sources of music news and
artist interviews for over 100 of the top rock and classic rock
stations across America.


MJI was purchased by Premiere Radio Networks in 1999 and Sal made
the transition where he continues in his role as Senior Director
of Rock Programming and Specials. In addition to writing The
Classic Daily, he is also responsible for artist interviews,
including numerous sessions with members of The Beatles, Rolling
Stones, Led Zeppelin, The Who, Eric Clapton, Bruce Springsteen,
Elton John, U2 and hundreds of others. He also covers top music
events around the world; produces award-winning specials,
including iHEARTRADIO’s Icons series; and has been the MC on the
four Moody Blues Cruises, its spinoff, On the Blue, as well as
the Rock Legends Cruise 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 & 7.


He resides in New Jersey with his dog Brody.
