LPWire: Popular Kids Radio Show on AOL to Broadcast Live from WDW
Popular Kids Radio Show on AOL
to Broadcast Live from Disney World!
Radio KOL Host - DJ Rick Adams - Presents a Week of Live Shows From The
Magic Kingdom
With more than one million weekly
kid viewers and listeners, Radio KOL is set to broadcast a week full of live
shows from one of the hottest kid spots in America: Walt Disney World Resort.
The webcam in the studio will allow fans to watch DJ Rick live on the web as he
spins the tunes, plays games and conducts interviews with Hilary Duff, Herbie
the Love Bug, Mickey Mouse and unique 'Disney Experts' - just to name a
few. Airing daily December 12 -16, from 3:00PM to 7:00PM EST, on AOL Keyword:
Radio KOL, the show blends popular music with listener participation. DJ Rick
(formerly of Nickelodeon and Children's BBC) brings his fast paced energy and
cheeky humor to kids nationwide all while broadcasting from a fish bowl type
studio for all to observe.
To celebrate Radio KOL's week 'live from Disney World®', three lucky families
will also get a chance to win an all expense paid vacation to the popular
destination resort in Central Florida, including: airfare, four night's hotel
stay, free admission to the Disney theme parks and 500 Disney dollars. To win,
kids will have call in to Radio KOL (1-877-565-3574) during the show and do
their best imitation of DJ Rick riding a roller coaster with Mickey Mouse.
DJ Rick, who has received more than eight million IM messages since the show's
debut two years ago, will also investigate the Vacation Kingdom's Epcot Center,
where he will learn how different families celebrate the holidays around the
world, and plans to explore the 110-acre Kilimanjaro Safaris attraction at
Disney's Animal Kingdom.
"This is going to be an incredible week. I can't wait to bring the magic of
Disney World to kids across the country! And that's the great thing about our
live webcast, who knows what the kids might see. I will be their eyes and ears -
which are big, but not as big as Mickey's!," said DJ Rick Adams. "Kids love
Radio KOL because it's always there for them when they have had a good day or
bad, right there on their computer with brilliant music and a whole lot of
stupidity from me! They can also do other cool things while they watch and
listen, like IM friends and play games!"
This marks the third time Radio KOL has taken the show on the road - including a
week live from NYC as well as a special week on tour with Hilary Duff this past
summer. Kids can tune to Rick's show on AOL Keyword: Radio KOL.
During this week in December, Disney's Magic Kingdom will also present Mickey's
Very Merry Christmas Parade with an exciting all-new fireworks show. The
celebration will feature live Disney Character stage shows, Character greetings
throughout the Park, cookies and cocoa, and even snow on Main Street, U.S.A.
Also, the Osborne Family Spectacle of Lights, featuring millions of sparkling
holiday bulbs designed by Osborne, an Arkansas businessman and philanthropist
will be on view. The Osborne Family Spectacle of Lights display started at the
Osborne home 18 years ago when Jennings strung 1,000 red lights as a Christmas
gift to his daughter Breezy. Soon their 22,000-square-foot home was covered in
millions of lights. By 1995, the display had made its way to the guests of Walt
Disney World Resort and is now a beloved tradition.
