FRANKLIN, Mass., Jan. 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Echo Therapeutics, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: ECTE), a company developing the needle-free Symphony™ tCGM System as a non-invasive, wireless, transdermal continuous glucose monitoring (tCGM) system and the Prelude™ SkinPrep System for transdermal drug delivery, announced today that Patrick T. Mooney, M.D., the Company's Chairman and CEO, will be interviewed on "Steve Crowley's American Scene National Radio" on Wednesday, January 20, 2010 at 9:42 AM ET and Friday January 22, 2010 at 10:24 AM ET. Dr. Mooney also will be a regular on-air guest on American Scene twice weekly and will be interviewed by host Steve Crowley regarding relevant corporate events, news releases and updates.
Steve Crowley's American Scene National Radio, owned by the Money Channel Inc., airs for three hours daily Monday through Friday. Money Channel also produces a national weekly television program, WallStreetCast, which airs on the FOX Business Network during certain times of the year. American Scene was launched nationally in June 1990, and WallStreetCast has been produced since 2005. Both programs feature personal finance advice, stock market-related news and advice, and they include regular CEO interviews of Micro-cap and Small-cap companies. American Scene has over 3,000,000 listeners on the three-hour daily radio broadcasts and airs on hundreds of radio channels nation-wide through the IRN/USA Radio Network affiliates.
"We are extremely excited to be interviewed by Steve Crowley, a Wall Street legend, on his American Scene radio program," commented Dr. Mooney. "Echo Therapeutics recently completed the initial product development work on our Prelude SkinPrep System and we are now focused on completing steps for our regulatory advance to commercialization and leveraging our strategic partnerships to generate product-related revenue. We believe the investors who listen to these shows will be interested in our story because we are positioned to be 'first-to-market' with a proven, needleless, transdermal continuous glucose monitoring system in the $1 billion-plus hospital critical care market. In addition, we anticipate near-term revenue for Echo from the royalties on Prelude disposables and lidocaine sales, and we look forward to working with Ferndale Pharma Group to generate cash flow to Echo from the topical anesthetic market in the US and UK during 2010. Finally, we are targeting an application to secure a national exchange listing in the near future, further increasing our visibility to investors and expanding our audience of potential investors. With these important milestones in view, we believe we have reached a compelling point in Echo's history, so the timing couldn't be better for us to share our story with the American Scene and WallStreetCast audiences."
