AUSTRALIA LIVE TV.com SEARCHES FOR TELEVISION HOSTS

Australia Live TV is set to shine the spotlight on the next top Australian television presenters.

The Adelaide-based internet television station is searching for up-and-coming, vibrant and passionate media personalities to host its ‘Mornings Live’ program.

Australia Live TV CEO John Begley said the national search would allow the Australian public to decide the future ‘Mornings Live’ hosts.

“This is an extraordinary opportunity for two young Australians to launch their media careers while being paid and trained,” Mr Begley said.

“We are expecting applicants to exude charisma and have a strong knowledge of current affairs, sport and entertainment.

“We have only just launched the competition and applicants have already been posting their audition tapes on You Tube.”

He said entrants needed to be effective communicators, informing and entertaining to the corporate demographic of viewers aged between 18 and 40.

“We are breaking new ground at Australia Live TV and are excited to be creating a new foundation for the next faces of television,” he said.

Australia Live TV was the first to stream a live internet sports show with the launch of ‘KG and The General’ earlier this year.

The pioneering station now has ‘Xtreme Sports Hour with Nathan Strempel’, and coming soon will be ‘Mornings Live’, worldwide sports “guru” ‘Mahatma Cote’, ‘Open House’ and ‘Travel TV’.

“It would be ideal if the future hosts of ‘Mornings Live’ have past radio, television or print media experience but we do not want to limit the possibility of uncovering new talent,” Mr Begley said.

“All applicants will be considered on experience, ability, enthusiasm, video presentation and last but not least, the support generated from public voting.”

The program will run weekdays from 8am to 10am and is set to hit cyberspace in September from the exclusive Chapel Lane Studios in Hindmarsh, South Australia.

Applications close on July 31, with interviews of promising entrants conducted in August.
