Channel V and Nova to create new show
Channel V and The Nova Network have joined forces to launch a new show, The Music Lab.
The announcement:
Channel [V] and The Nova Network announced a new partnership today that will see the development of a brand new show, The Music Lab, to be broadcast across both media from July.
Premiering on Sunday 4 July at midday, The Music Lab will be hosted by Nova’s Dan Debuff from The Action Battle Team, and Channel [V]’s Billy Russell. The show will be broadcast across The Nova Network and Channel [V] each Sunday at 12noon.
The Music Lab is a one-hour listener and viewer driven countdown of the top songs played across Nova and Channel [V] each week. The show will allow the audience to take control of their radio and television with the content determined by online votes. Each show will count down the ten most popular songs of the week and highlight the next big acts, as voted by the Nova and Channel [V] audiences.
Dean Buchanan, Group Program Director, dmg Radio Australia said: “We’ll play what you say! This is an exciting new concept across three platforms and reflects the media lifestyles of both Nova and Channel [V] audiences. Both Dan and Billy are great talent and, together with online votes, they’ll make a great show.”
Shaun James, General Manager, XYZnetworks Music Channels said: “We have always had a strongrelationship with the Nova team and this is a natural extension of that. The fact the Channel [V]’s viewers and Nova’s listeners can come together to control the playlist on both networks is a new innovative twist! We look forward to the success of The Music Lab and welcoming Dan to Channel [V].”
