Country Music Television is going to be simulcasting round three of the talent search hit Nashville Star beginning Tuesday, March 1 at 10 p.m. Canadians will be able to watch each show live and participate in the online voting. Subsequent live episodes will run Tuesdays at 10 p.m., with repeat broadcasts Thursdays at 9 p.m. and Sundays at 8 p.m. and 11 p.m. Viewers can vote online through a link at http://www.cmtcanada.com, or by visiting http://www.usanetwork.com/nashvillestar.
The 10 finalists were chosen from a North America-wide search and the winner will receive a recording contract with Universal South Records. Last year, a Canadian, George Canyon, came in second, hooked a contract and is now enjoying a successful career on both sides of the border.
CMT reaches almost 8 million Canadian homes.
