C4 starts up in a month and after 300 audition tapes and 30 screen tests the presenters for the new channel have been selected. Did you make it?
The confirmed line-up is:
Main hosts: Jaquie Brown (Space) and Clarke Gayford (Channel Z)
Retro Show: James Coleman (Channel Z)
Dance Specialist: Nick Dwyer (M2)
Hip Hop Specialist: Phil Bell aka DJ Sir-Vere
Rock Specialist: Jonothan Pryor (The Rock)
Request Show: Teuila Blakely
Alternative Show: Camilla Martin
Jaquie Brown and Clarke Gayford will be the main hosts on the channel with the others presenting their own specialist shows. Three presenters – Clarke, Jonothan and Camilla – are new faces to television. Nick, Phil and Teuila have had a small amount of experience hosting music television in the past. James Coleman was one of the original panellists on The Panel, and Jaquie Brown is well known from her three year run hosting Space. Most came from radio backgrounds. All are passionate about music.
C4 Program Director, Andrew Szusterman is confident with the line up - “we’ve tried to be as broad as possible, have some established faces and bring in some brand new talent. Everyone of them loves Music and that is the number 1 priority above anything else”
Presenters will be put to the test when C4 goes live, replacing TV4, on October 3rd.
