Heidi and Frank Embrace Digital Media (Dec 28, 2010)

Heidi Hamilton and Frank Kramer, formerly top-rated Los Angeles radio personalities on KLSX and KABC, who walked away from successful radio careers just three months ago to go Internet-only, are realizing massive success in the podcast and subscription content arenas alike.

After Hours, the weekly audio podcast starring them, was just named to the "Rewind 2010: Best Podcasts" year-end showcase of the iTunes StoreG¦+s best podcasts of 2010. 

This comes on the heels of another breakthrough success in NovemberG¦÷Heidi and Frank became the #1 paid subscriber-supported Internet TV show in America. With more than 6,500 paid subscribers viewing the show online a total of 200,000 hours over its first eight weeks, they are pioneering the paid content industry. (Read: they have successfully monetized online video content without going the advertising route.)

Furthermore, the site has attracted 650,000 unique visitors and generated over 6.2 million page views following its launch on October 4, 2010. But perhaps the most significant statistic is the average amount of time visitors spend on site: 1 hour and 40 minutes per visit. This is because each day, thousands visit the site and listen to the "Heidi and Frank Show," to hear and watch it "live." (Read: they have successfully monetized online video content without going the advertising route.)

Heidi and Frank are successful because they focus on the "fan experience" G¦÷ they work directly for their subscribers. The best way to serve their existing fans and attract more subscribers is to provide them with the very best web experience possible G¦÷ one that includes free and premium content and one that provides "live" and "on-demand" content experiences plus original video content just for their VIP subscribers. Taken together, the "Heidi and Frank Experience" enables everyone to enjoy the show.

After leaving KABC in October, Heidi and Frank launched www.heidiandfrank.com as the home of their Internet TV network with two original internet-only shows:
