    (12/8/05)
    From: Sal Cirrincione,
    Sr. Director of Rock Programming & Specials,
    Premiere Radio Networks:

    When Paul McCartney gave Premiere Radio Networks exclusive access to his 2005 U.S. tour, Sal Cirrincione, Senior Director of Rock Programming and Specials, shadowed the superstar -- en route to shows, backstage, at soundcheck and more. The results of this unprecedented access can be heard in a two-hour special that takes listeners behind the scenes of one of the year's biggest rock tours. In talking about the special McCartney says, "It's good to have an opportunity to do something for radio. I love radio. Your imagination can go wild because you haven't got the picture, so you have to fill it in and work a little with your imagination. When this opportunity came up to do an all access radio show I thought, 'If I was just someone at home that could be really interesting.' You get to be in all these little corners and nooks and crannies that people normally aren't in and witness the atmosphere of the tour." In addition to comments by McCartney, his band and his staff, the show presents exclusive live recordings from the tour.

    This broadcast will air on rock, classic rock, triple a and oldies stations across the country from December 15th through January 15th.
