Our legacy is the
bee’s knees
Entertainment Extra debuted in 1985
Entertainment Extra was founded by Vincent and Associates in 1985, targeting audiences in the metro areas of Cleveland, Cincinnati, Columbus, and Dayton. From its inception until 1998, the monthly publication highlighted extraordinary performances by renowned recording artists such as Frankie Avalon and Neil Diamond. It also showcased theatrical, musical, and operatic productions at metro area Playhouses and Opera venues.
In addition to its coverage of the arts, Entertainment Extra reported on major sporting events, including NFL games featuring the Cincinnati Bengals, PGA golf tournaments with legends like the late Chi Chi Rodríguez, Jack Nicklaus, and Lee Trevino, and professional tennis matches in Cincinnati, Ohio. The publication also promoted family-friendly entertainment and vacation destinations, including Walt Disney World, Cedar Point, Kings Island, and iconic paradises like Hawaii and Italy.
Entertainment Extra extended its reach to television, with the Vincents conducting interviews with famous performers such as Loni Anderson and Gary Sandy from the beloved show WKRP in Cincinnati. This segment earned Vincent and Associates a prestigious Daytime Telly Award (equivalent to an Emmy) in 1996, cementing the publication's reputation for excellence.
