LOS ANGELES & DELRAY BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 7, 2004

Office Depot Signs on as National Sponsor

of Daily Feature that Debuts June 14 on Nearly 300 Affiliates

Perhaps the nation's most successful real estate tycoon is showing he's a major force in radio as well. Trumped! with Donald Trump, the new 90-second feature from Premiere Radio Networks, is poised to be the biggest launch in radio history when it debuts June 14, 2004. Premiere announced today that nearly 300 affiliate stations across the country have signed to carry the daily program, with more expected. At the same time, Trump introduced Office Depot, one of the world's leading providers of office products and services, as a national sponsor of the feature in which he will offer his personal commentary on business, entertainment, politics and more.

"I've experienced tremendous success in real estate, television and other industries, and I am ready to tackle radio with my new daily feature," said Trump. "I couldn't have selected a more appropriate sponsor for Trumped! than Office Depot, which shares my passion for providing the tools necessary for people to grow their businesses and be more successful."

Office Depot will be the beneficiary of live commercial reads by Trump during alternate airings of Trumped! through the end of this year.

"We are delighted to support Trumped! with Donald Trump through this sponsorship and help bring Donald's unique viewpoint to millions of listeners everyday," said Bruce Nelson, Chairman and CEO for Office Depot. "By partnering with Premiere Radio Networks we are able to provide relevant news and information in a timely basis to our core customers - from someone who personifies the entrepreneurial spirit of business, Donald Trump."

Nelson added that Office Depot is currently developing additional ways in which the retailer will leverage its relationship with the radio program to further meet the needs of small businesses.

Trumped! with Donald Trump will be heard daily Monday through Friday. His commentary will be wide-ranging and include his perspective on personalities in the news, politics, entertainment, business and media, as well as insights from his own experiences, lifestyle and professional activities. Next fall, Fridays will be reserved for exclusive commentary about the previous night's firing on The Apprentice on NBC-TV.

Radio stations that represent a broad variety of both music and talk formats will carry Trumped! With Donald Trump, ranging from WHTZ-FM in New York and KBIG-FM in Los Angeles to WFLA-AM in Tampa and WBAL-AM in Baltimore.

According to Eileen Thorgusen, Executive Vice President, Affiliate Relations for Premiere Radio Networks, no nationally syndicated radio program has ever launched with more affiliates. "We are nearing 300 affiliates for Trumped!, and more stations are signing on every day," Thorgusen said.

The advertising agency OMD negotiated the sponsorship for Office Depot and is managing the company's media strategy and investment. "There is no better way to promote the attributes of Office Depot than by partnering with Donald Trump through his new program Trumped! with Donald Trump," said Page Thompson, CEO of OMD North America. "The marriage of these two powerful brands is a guaranteed formula for success. Once again, Premiere Radio Networks is leading the way by introducing innovative ideas that can provide tangible results in an extremely competitive marketplace."
