Days after the taping of the American Idol season finale, American Idol finalist David Radford signed an exclusive endorsement deal with premiere national Internet Service Provider (ISP) OWC.net, headquartered in Woodstock, IL. Radford is the first 2006 Idol contestant to ink a national endorsement deal.

Radford, a modern day crooner and American Idol crowd-pleaser, has a loyal national following of fans who will be able to follow Radford’s career, performance schedule and news of his upcoming premiere CD release on a soon to be launched web page hosted by OWC.net.
