According to Plesha, "Eye On Jamz contributes to the publication's commitment toward getting independent music read
about, seen, and heard. The show is a delve into the best of today's independent music that you've never heard -- peppered
with Sheldon's own picks that peak his personal interest. The program provides a jam-packed enthralling two hours of indie
music punctuated with insightful banter. With the rising popularity of the show, coupled with the obvious infectious likability
of Snow's easy-going interview style and the innovative selection of music that he brings to the program, it was a natural
progression for us to seek out stations that were all-genre friendly that would want to carry this dynamic show – stations who
also shared our passion for independent artists and the music that they create."
Plesha continues, "ION Indie Magazine is more than
a magazine – it's a movement. When we founded the
magazine, we brainstormed ways that our publication
could truly support the artists beyond our pages. As
many on our staff are musicians themselves, we
uniquely understand independent artists' struggle.
Providing valuable media coverage is important, but
our magazine takes the initiative to actually work
toward procuring artists real airplay. To this end, we
have partnered with numerous radio stations around
the world. The artists that appear in our pages are
offered the opportunity to have us submit their music
on their behalf to our many esteemed broadcast
partners for their consideration. Due to our efforts,
thousands of artists now have their music in regular
rotation on stations around the globe."
"Eye On Jamz was another vehicle to spotlight
talented hard-working independent artists – and
Sheldon made this show come alive when he took
over the helm early this past year. We are grateful to
him for sharing his 'gift for gab' with our listeners.
With this new move toward syndication, we can now
expand our reach. The world of broadcast and the
music community as a whole will be enriched due to
the unique point of view that Sheldon presents to both
his dedicated followers and the new listeners he's
sure to gain with this expansion of Eye On Jamz."
Regarding Eye On Jamz, Snow shares, "I found an
affinity with ION Indie Magazine and soon realized
that the people that created this magazine and lent
their time and talent to this project truly possessed a passion for what they do. The publication is also all-genre inclusive,
something that was in keeping with my philosophy…good music is good music, no matter the genre. Since I took the helm as
host earlier this year, we realized that there was a groundswell of support for what we were doing and that there was great
potential for expansion and growth. We had been considering the possibility of syndication, and recently, those doors were
opened by the good folks at AM1670 in Texas. Then WLSL 92.7 FM in Florida and The Independents Network in the UK also
offered the show slots with their fine network of broadcasters. The response has been fast and furious and the momentum is
continuing. I'm looking forward to this next step in the show's development with great anticipation."
