The EARS Television Show:
Three years ago the producers of the EARS event saw a void in the television market and realized a show like EARS could change the face of television. Two years after the first EARS event was held, before EARS could make it to the small screen there was an explosion, which took over television called American Idol. About a year after that Star Search returned to television causing the creators of EARS great concern that America would shun another talent-oriented program. Despite the many obstacles the producers of the E.A.R.S. event are pleased to announce the filming of the E.A.R.S Television Show pilot at the 2003 showcase. They will also release a Video/DVD, which will be distributed through Lightyear (WEA) Warner, Elektra, and Atlantic Records.
The EARS event is truly a one of a kind spectacular outside of television. You will be electrified as some of music brightest rising stars move one step closer towards making their dreams a reality.
The following are a few quotes about the E.A.R.S. event:
