AXS TV Rocks Out With Power Hour
• AXS TV announced the launch of Power Hour, an original music series breaks down the biggest news and latest videos in rock, premiering Wednesday, Feb. 15. The series is filmed in Los Angeles, produced by Danny Wimmer Presents (DWP) and hosted by a trio of well known rock experts — our pal Matt Pinfield (MTV, VH1), Josh Bernstein (Revolver Golden Gods, Loudwire), and Caity Babs (SirusXM’s Octane)
The inaugural season boasts star-studded interviews and special segments filmed exclusively for AXS TV, presenting 10 all-new episodes packed with breaking music news, as well as sit-downs with Slipknot’s Corey Taylor, Halestorm, Anthrax and Godsmack. Other Season One highlights include segments with rock and metal titans GWAR, Shinedown, Butcher Babies, Theory Of A Deadman, Alter Bridge, New Years Day, Black Stone Cherry, Lilith Czar, Beartooth, Eva Under Fire, Versus Me, Ill Niño, and more.
In addition to counting down the week’s most-talked about music videos from across the country, every episode of Power Hour invites viewers to choose the top five videos in the world. The week’s leading vote-getters will then be featured in a special spotlight during each show.
“It’s exciting to host this show every week with Josh and Caity,” said Pinfield. “Thanks to AXS TV and DWP, there is finally a destination to see all the hottest new rock videos every week on Power Hour. There hasn’t been a destination on TV like this for fans of rock music in a long time.”
“Power Hour is tailor-made for AXS TV viewers, giving them all the latest information on the artists they love and the music that moves them,” said Katie Daryl, VP of Programming for AXS TV. “This is the first time AXS TV is airing a true rock news magazine, and we could not think of anyone better to lead it than Matt, Josh, and Caity. They each have a deep passion for music and unparalleled knowledge that spans across a wide range of eras. We are excited to have them onboard and the DWP team, and we cannot wait to debut this new genre for our audience — creating the ultimate destination where they can come and keep current with all of their favorite bands right here in one place.” Check out this preview of Power Hour, which debuts Wednesday, Feb. 15 at 10pm ET/7pm PT on AXS TV.
