::: Tell your friends about Operation Bon Jovi and direct them to http://www.operationbonjovi.com If you would like to tell them a little bit about our group in your email, here is our intro:

---
Operation Bon Jovi is a group of Bon Jovi fans who began an effort to promote the band members' solo and group projects back in January of 1997. We send out letters with fan 'signatures' to radio and music tv stations to inform them of Jon, Richie, Dave, Tico, and Hugh's activities. In addition, we ask these stations to add Bon Jovi to their playlists and/or play their music much more often.

::: Please make sure that you get on the NEW, OFFICIAL Bon Jovi Street Team also! If you are/were on the official Bon Jovi Request Team Yahoogroup for Crush and One Wild Night Live, you will still need to sign up for the new team at http://www2.fanscape.com/bonjovi/signup.asp or at BonJovi.com.

::: Radio Station Info :::
As 'always', our radio station database is constantly being updated. Erin is hard at work getting the list updated for the 1st radio station mailing for the new Bon Jovi single "Everday". Each time we send out emails to radio stations, we find that there are stations that have changed ownership, email addresses, etc. We are very happy to have your help in this department. If your local stations are suited for Bon Jovi music (in other words, they are not a classical or jazz stations), please email Erin at Erin@operationbonjovi.com and make sure she has the info for your radio stations (Call letters / Station Dial Setting / E-mail Address / URL / Phone Number(s) / Program Director's name, if available). Thanks!
