TOP OF THE POPS RETURNS TO BBC

Well sort of:

15 Months after they axed the worlds longest pop show on TV (Top Of The Pops) blaming the demise on falling audiences, internet downloads, 24 hour Satellite & Cable Music channels and the rest of the bollox they came out with BBC decide the time is now right for a replacement. Why when nothing has changed? there's more music channels, more people watching music videos on Youtube, more people downloading music to their ipods, burning to cd's etc etc.

TEATIME on a Saturday afternoon, where's the audience? at the game with Mom & Dad, uptown shopping or out with their mates.



Sound is a new, weekly music TV show co-hosted by BBC Radio 1 DJ Annie Mac and new BBC signing Nick Grimshaw. The show focuses on the best UK music and, with no studio base, it is filmed at outside locations across the UK. Sound is a fast-paced programme showcasing the most exciting new music, as well as the hottest established artists from the UK and overseas. The show mixes up live performances and interviews across a variety of genres and styles, focusing on the world of teens. Artists for the first show are still under wraps.

SO WHY AXE TOTP 15 MONTHS AGO ???

Teens eh??? how many viewers??? outside locations???

Wonder how long this will survive the mass job losses @ BBC????
