Authentic Entertainment are about to launch two major new flagship shows across Australia.
Going national on the Today Hit Network are Planet Vevo and The Drop – two new distinct formats.
In a global first, Planet Vevo adds a new radio dimension to the Vevo brand, one of the world’s leading all-premium music video and entertainment platforms.
Hosted by Today Hit Network’s Dan & Maz every Sunday between 2-5pm, the show will take listeners on a round the world journey via its 14 international studios, providing exclusive content from their favourite artists with news, interviews and performances.
The Drop will serve electronic dance music. The plan is for it to be the destination for EDM lovers to keep up-to-date with all the latest happenings in the global dance music scene.
It will also be national, Fridays 10pm-1am and Saturdays 6pm to midnight, hosted by Marty Smiley and Michael Beveridge.
It will feature a steady stream of guest appearances and mixes from the world’s elite DJs and artists. To kick off the opening show, Dutch superstar DJ Hardwell will be dropping in a one-off mix from his new album ‘United We Are’ – a mix that will not be available anywhere else in the world.
Authentic Entertainment CEO John Wardley said, “Our aim is to deliver innovative radio shows that build loyal communities of listeners. Planet Vevo is a worldwide first and The Drop puts a stamp of authority on the Australian dance community.” Wardley adds, “This will be a huge year for original content at Authentic Entertainment across digital and broadcast.”
The Drop will debut first on Saturday 24 January, with Planet Vevo launching the following day on Sunday 25 January.
Authentic Entertainment are planning a third show format which will be announced soon.
