Not content with Popworld still attracting decent viewing figures even after the departure of Those Two, the bods at Channel 4 have announced details of a new music show.
Transmission With T-Mobile (c'mon, guess the sponsor) will air from June 16th, and will focus on live performances. Each week, bands will be filmed doing their thang at a different location: so, one week you could have Editors in Koko, the next The Zutons in some basement flat in Newcastle... for (an unlikely) example.
Regular T4 presenter Steve Jones - he of large face - and former CD:UK host and one-time popster in her own right Lauren Laverne (pictured) will front the show. Which is nice for them, we suppose.
Twelve weekly shows are scheduled for broadcast. Yup.
can we have james blunt
doing a gig in prison, or somewhere PAINFUL!
...
I was under the impression that Channel 4 already had several of these kinds of show already on the schedules... all featuring the same 6 bands on permanent rotation.
too true
if i see razorlight one more time on c4, heads will roll
lauren laverne, yay!
this sounds ace :D
What
great presenters!
god Im desperate for a music prog on terrestrial telly that I can get excited about
this will just have the same bands on and Laverne just makes me feel so so sad inside, but i suppose I should be 'grateful' and go 'yay' but in the same way as a man with all his limbs removed would be if he won 'Juggler of the Millenium'
Bring back The White Room!
Radcliffe deserves more air time!
agreed - but people probably didn't wank whilst watching him
remember how it works silly!
LOOOOOOOL
can someone kill
Lauren Laverne. Please? I'm so sick of her sycophantic smug I-think-I'm-funny-but-my-only-friend-is-really-Phill-Jupitus-and-he-doesn't-really-like-me-by-the-way-the-band-I-was-in-were-shit-and-insignificant act?
i like you a lot!
Hate Laverne
more than she could ever know. It would be nice to think channel 4 would make a genuinely appealing music show, but this won't be it, and nor will anything else.
fucking LAUREN LAVERNE???
she is such a shit presenter, i hate her.
shit on the radio
shit on tv.
FUCK OFF.
Madness
Ms. Laverne is wonderful. And, she has the most appealing accent on TV.
Have you heard
that ad she does for Coco Pops Straws? The way she says 'sleuurrping' makes me feel sick.
What?
You never liked Kenickie? I don't believe you
Laverne's Friends
She has at least two friends cos I've heard her name drop the dude from Fourtet into Glasto coverage at least once. She is still, without doubt, a shit TV presenter without an ounce of personality. Get Sarah Cawood's honey-buns back onto credible TV again instead.
Great
What we all need is more Lauren Laverne. Possibly the most irritating person to wake up to in the mornings.
I mean on the radio dullards.
'rockfeedback tv'
that's your answer - watch it this Saturday, after 'album chart show' on channel 4... sonic youth, and loads more. that's proper music tv.
Wasn't that on MTV2?
The one programme they didn't sodding repeat 98983938 times.
wasn't that the show that did some feature on ATP
a year or two ago? That they then showed on the chalets' tvs the following Christmas? With a complete and utter prick presenting & having the piss deservedly taken out of him for his embarassing 'interviewing by Cex and Turbonegro?
(As I don't have MTV like)
Joolz
They're always trying to be too smart, and 'cool' and end up being less than what the doctor ordered. Joolz Holland is a lot like Whistle Test was once, and if C4 want to do something useful they could do a lot worse than do the same format with a slightly greater proportion of new acts. i.e....the Tube!
More importantly...give it a decent slot in the schedules...i.e. not in the middle of the night...how about the TGI Friday slot???
Correction
TFI Friday.
laverne was in kenickie
kenickie were 1000 times better than 98% of anything else ever created
Lauren Laverne..
yes please.
yum
Yes
Bring back The White Room!
Hands off
She's mine
Sounds like...
a huge piece of marketing rubbish
