“Now That’s What I Call Music” TV Show
American Idol creator Simon Fuller is planning a television show based on the annual Now That’s What I Call Music compilations.
“This show will be nothing like ‘American Idol’,” Simon, who owns the rights to the compilation brand, told BBC News on Monday. “It will be a new take on music programming.”
“The intent is to take that brand and that trust in that brand and establish it as a TV show with the same elements. We’ll probably form our own pop chart so the public can be involved,” Bob Mercer, CEO of the Now… franchise, told Billboard.
