Richard, the boss
(David H. Lawrence XVII)

David Lawrence is heard nightly as the wacky, eclectic and highly opinionated host of The
David Lawrence Show, and weekend Online Tonight, both nationally syndicated radio talk
shows that revolves around pop culture and the high-tech lifestyle. The award-winning shows
combine entertainment, information, interviews and news with the speed and humor of a Top-
40 morning show. The three-hour daily call-in shows air Monday through Saturday from 10 PM
to 1 AM ET, and is repeated on Sunday evenings from 10 PM to 1 AM ET, and is heard on over
80 radio stations, including WGN/Chicago, KFBK/Sacramento, KNEW/San Francisco as well
as on both Sirius Satellite Radio Talk Central 148 and XM Radio Extreme XM 152.

"I'm an objectivist," says Lawrence. "I scare conservatives with my attitudes, which revolve
around owning our behavior and actions, and following the letter of the law. Respect for
other's creations, the unabashed celebration of capitalism and the pure honesty of living our
lives in a republic of laws are the cornerstones of my show - and all these people who
rationalize their behavior in the name of pure technology drive me up a wall. I'm not afraid to
call them on their actions."

The Emmy-award winning and Clio-nominated Lawrence is deeply rooted in the music industry
as well, and also anchors The Net Music Countdown. Syndicated on over 70 radio stations and
both satellite radio services in partnership with United Stations, the shows countdown the
hottest hits on the Internet, with flavors for alternative rock, CHR and Hot AC. The shows are
based on in-house research, and those charts are licensed as their eTracks Charts by
AllAccess.com, for which Lawrence edits the weekly Internet/Digital Music tracking. The
NMC eTracks Charts are widely considered the official music charts of the Internet.
Reporters to the eTracks include Apple's iTunes Music Store, AandE.com Radio, About Radio,
Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com, BellSouth.com, Bolt Radio, B&N Radio, CDNow.com,
Gracenote/CDDB, Launch.Yahoo.com, MusicMatch.co, Radio Free Virgin, Radio Lycos, Real
One, Radio@AOL, The RadioAMP Network, and over 40 other performance licensed
Internet sales and streaming outlets. Both TechTV and CNET use the NMC top 5 for their
weekly look at Net music popularity.
