New digital satellite entertainment channel SoundTV launches on Saturday 26 February with Chris Tarrant leading the opening evening’s line-up.
The launch weekend will feature appearances from the likes of Status Quo and Bill Wyman as well as comedians Jethro, Phil Cool and a one-hour special from Robin Williams.
SoundTV was created by BAFTA-nominated entertainer Richard Digance and radio presenter Mike Osman.
Managing director Richard Digance said: “The channel has been two years in the making, but I think with the public’s tiredness of reality television, we couldn’t be hitting the screens at a better time.
“We firmly believe there is room for both established names and new talent that have had had little or no chance to break on to British TV in the last five years.”
Performers of all kinds are encouraged to contact SoundTV for the opportunity to make their UK television debut on the channel’s flagship entertainment programme, ‘The New Variey Show’.
This free-to-view channel can be received anyone with a Sky Digital Subscription.
