In 2007, Beyond The Edge Radio / BTE Entertainment was an equal partnership formed by Eric Altman & Sean Forker. This partnership has never been challenged by either party.
In 2010, Lon Strickler became a monthly segment host. During 2010 through 2014 the show underwent a series of changes, but the original partnership remained intact.
During the past 3-4 months, there have been underlying personal issues that caused Eric Altman to shutdown BTE Radio until further notice.
Since BTE Radio has experienced steady growth and high ratings over the past 18 months, including a huge number of listeners requesting the show continue, we felt that we would explore the means of maintaining the program.
It was understood that Eric needed an extended period of time to get his life in order. It was also important that Eric not be involved in any appraisal of the show so he could concentrate on himself and his family. This is not a matter of taking sides or ‘ganging up’ on Eric. We support his decision to shutdown BTE Radio, but we also realize that he has major challenges before he can consider hosting the show, as well as other projects.
Nonetheless, Eric has made it known that he is not pleased with our decision.
At this point, we are now considering the promotion of a new radio show, possibly a spin-off of BTE Radio.
To our loyal listeners, please bear with us while we develop this new venture.
Sean Forker & Lon Strickler
