Ultimate-80s.com Leads the '80s Revival in the New Millennium!

Business Wire, Oct 12, 2004

LOS ANGELES -- From Duran Duran to Miami Vice, www.Ultimate-80s.com Creates a Niche and Gets Listeners "Siked" over the 80S

Ultimate-80s.com, the one source for everything '80s, streaming online at www.Ultimate-80s.com, is leading the revival of the "Me" decade with its progressive programming and its high listener ratings.

Founded in 2000 by David Landis, Ultimate-80s.com has staked its claim as the leading online music and entertainment network dedicated to celebrating and promoting the 1980s. "This was one of the most exciting decades in the 20th Century," stated Landis. "The 1980s were the most musically experimental, politically charged, and socially restless era in modern history. This was the decade that brought us artists like Devo and Cyndi Lauper, the fall of the Berlin Wall, and of course Max Headroom," continued Landis.

Ultimate-80s.com has worked with and garnered the support of an impressive list of well known artists and celebrities of the 1980s, including Devo's Mark Mothersbaugh, The B-52's' Kate Pierson and Fred Schneider, Berlin's Terri Nunn, Men at Work's Colin Hay, and one of MTV's first and most well known VJs, the late J.J. Jackson. Ultimate-80s.com's popularity is no surprise when you consider the breadth of music and entertainment you can find on this online radio station. The music is self programmed and digs deep into the artists' library playing not only the hits, but also the lesser-known, yet once-trendy songs from such artists as Duran Duran, Run-DMC, Michael Jackson, and Pat Benatar. Listeners will also enjoy hearing special promotional events, such as recent events celebrating the DVD releases of hit '80s TV shows "Knight Rider" and "Alf."

Earlier this month, Ultimate-80s.com helped promote and attended the highly successful "20th Anniversary of Miami Vice" convention in Miami, Florida. "The event was a huge success and a lot of fun," remarked Landis. Tune into www.Ultimate-80s.com to hear an Exclusive interview with Miami Vice-theme composer and popular '80s musician Jan Hammer, who is promoting the release of his new CD "The Best of Miami Vice."
