ArtRocks 24/7 Online TV & Radio Show recently launched from the Gaslamp Quarter at 345 Sixth Ave., combining radio with high-definition cameras. Listeners are able to see and hear the program on their computers. The vivacious co-hosts of this show are Alexandra (Bling Bling) Rosa and Lou Magdaleno.Their tagline for the show is: “Where fashion, art and lifestyle collide.” The hour-long talk show features guests every Tuesday, from 7 to 8 p.m. This new talk show is the sister show to wsradio.com, which has been on the air for eight years. Rosa is the executive producer and co-host with Philly Swendoza on the wsradio show, which airs on Wednesday evenings from 7 to 8 p.m. During the eight years of being on wsradio.com, Rosa has made a mark in San Diego by interviewing the likes of Paul Stanley, lead singer from KISS; Grace Slick, Peter Max and Zandra Rhodes. Rosa and Magdaleno are dynamic interviewers, making for a very entertaining show. Rosa has worked in many male-dominated industries. After college graduation, she worked as a Wall Street analyst, being the youngest and only woman employee at her firm. After that high-stress job, she returned to San Diego to work for C Spa, helping to elevate it from one to eighteen spas. She eventually met Swendoza, who had a show on Bravo called “Arts Now.” They formed a partnership and switched to the Internet. Magdaleno grew up in California and went to law school in Northern California. He became a corporate lawyer and has done litigation for years. For six years he ran an advertising company in Hollywood. He met Rosa on an on-line website and moved to San Diego 1 ½ years ago. On a recent visit to the show, wine and food were waiting for all the guests. Every week they have a restaurant and wine company as a sponsor who donate sto the show. The guests for the evening were Zandra Rhodes, who talked about her “Aida” exhibition at the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library in La Jolla; Fred Sweet, founder of the La Jolla Fashion Film Festival; Syrian singing sensation Zavaro; and artist Bryan Synder.
