Car54 | Sunday, October 20, 2002 - 02:58 pm     From Zap2It USA's 'Nashville Star' Sets Format, Auditions Sat, Oct 19, 2002 11:39 AM PDT LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - The USA Network is ready to start looking for the next "Nashville Star." The cable channel has set audition dates for its "American Idol"-esque series, which will award one aspiring artist a contract with Sony Music Nashville. The first round of tryouts will take place Tuesday (Oct. 22) at the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville, Tenn. After that, the show's producers will go on a nationwide search for talent, hitting 30 radio stations across the country during the following four weeks. Winners from each station will compete in five regional competitions in January, with the 10 finalists heading to Nashville to live together and compete in the final rounds. (A full audition schedule and additional information is at usanetwork.com.) USA launched "Nashville Star" in the wake of "American Idol's" success, and like FOX's summer hit, fans will determine who among the final 10 advances. "We are delighted to be working with USA Network and [production company] Reveille on this exciting new project," says Allen Butler, president and CEO of Sony Music Nashville. "I am confident that 'Nashville Star' will serve to further expand interest in the country genre, while at the same time providing an important opportunity to undiscovered artists." The series is scheduled to premiere in March. |
