Only six individuals aged between 18 and 25 years will be selected to be presenters on the various programmes of the TV station. The auditions are scheduled to start at 10:30 am.
“We are looking for young individuals that are bubbly, confident, outspoken and well known so that we can nurture them to become well seasoned TV personalities. Presentation is the key factor. We are targeting young people because they are our TV station’s target audience,” Flowetry Media House frontman, Drew Chadhall said.
He noted that the aspiring presenters should be well equipped with background knowledge from different fields that range from lifestyle, sports, cooking music and tech to mention but a few.
Chadhall stated that at the moment they have close to 150 people have registered for the auditions, “Registration is also open on the day of auditions at the moment we can only afford to recruit six individuals. With time we will recruit more people”.
Talking of the TV station he said it will be launched in October and it will be available for viewing on its website, App and social media platforms. They are working closely with Media Republic, which is handling the production.
“This is a youth-oriented platform that will broadcast a variety of local and international content. At the moment we have a couple of productions that we have in-house. We are also looking forward to seeing young producers submitting their content to us.”
Due to lack of funds the TV channel advises producers to have a sponsor when submitting their content. Chadhall stated that this is a self-funded project.
Chillstep Live is the second TV station to be launched in the country this year after HUB TV that only broadcasts in combis.
