‘Idol’-like show for bands started
Reality shows can have spinoffs, too. The producers of “American Idol” are launching “The Search for the Next Great American Band,” a new talent series.
That’s a working title for the Fox show, which will “scour the country, seeking musical groups of all ages, styles and genres,” producers 19 Entertainment and FremantleMedia North America said Thursday.
An air date for the show was not announced.
The format, as described by the production company, parallels “American Idol.” It will start with nationwide auditions, with judges then narrowing down the entries to 10 semifinalists. Viewers will decide who stays.
