Poorman's Bikini Beach Show
Is a Big "Poor Thumbs-Up"!
Jim "Poorman" Trenton
CONCEPT:
 |
Essentially the “Ebert and Roeper” of ‘beautiful girl’ events, “Poorman’s Bikini Beach” focuses not only on the beautiful girls, but also on the surrounding hoopla that is a part of every one of these events from the event itself to the wild antics of the Poorman, the celebrity attendees, and the freaks. |
|
At the conclusion of coverage, Poorman rates the event either a “Poor Thumb Up!” or a “Poor Thumb Down!” There are three events per show. A different beautiful model/actress in a bikini guest hosts each one of the shows and is interviewed by the Poorman. |
 |
BACKGROUND:
 |
Jim “Poorman” Trenton is the creator and original host of "Loveline" on KROQ FM LOS ANGELES. During his tenure of 10 years on the show, “Loveline” went from one day a week to five days a week and became #1 within one Arbitron Ratings Book. "Loveline" is now syndicated across the United States. |
| Jim's newest project entitled "Poorman's Saturday Night Party!" is something quite special. It features the Season 7 premiere of the "Poorman's Bikini Beach" MARATHON of five 1/2 hour episodes each Saturday night for 13 weeks on LOS ANGELES broadcast independent KJLA/LATV from 9:30 PM-12 MIDNIGHT. |
 |
 |
This block of programming launches on 10/1/05 and continues until 12/24/05. It is unprecedented in television. “I believe that my unique effort will be the freshest thing to hit television and immensely popular with males 18-54. |
|
Jim is also building in an element of radio that is non-existent in television. It's a feature entitled ‘Call In And Win!’," states Poorman. Every 10 minutes during spot breaks, a 15 second promo will "pop up" punctuated by the sound of a ringing telephone enabling viewers to 'call in and win' prizes. This will facilitate the audience hanging through the commercial breaks, and should create a buzz as no one else in TV gives away prizes during a show.
“Call In And Win!” giveaways for the first night included concert tickets (Megan's Tickets), dinners (Tommy's Original World Famous Hamburgers), a car (South Coast Toyota), and "Halloween Haunt" Tickets (Knotts Berry Farm).

STORYLINE:
| “Poorman’s Bikini Beach” is comprised of four segments and three commercial breaks if aired on broadcast television. If cable is chosen, the same format applies without the commercials (if necessary). |

Each episode opens on the “Poorman’s Bikini Beach” set with a supermodel guest host. She “throws” to location coverage by the Poorman (main host of show) of three “Beautiful Girl” events. The “coverage” focuses not only on the “hotties”, but also the surrounding hoopla that is part of every one of these events. |
| We spotlight the event itself, the party, the freaks, the groupies, and any shenanigans that may occur. At the conclusion of coverage of each “Beautiful Girl” event, The Poorman rates the event a “Poor Thumb Up!” or a “Poor Thumb Down"! |

The final segment is a ratings recap and a one on one interview on the set between the Poorman and guest host supermodel. |
