Fox + iHeartMedia = The Four
Fox Broadcasting Company is endeavoring to fill its post-American Idol hole by launching a new music competition series in partnership with iHeartMedia — presenting The Four: The Battle For Stardom. The premise of this show begins where most other competitions end: with the four finalists. Four super-talented singers, chosen from auditions, will defend their coveted spots on the stage, as they are challenged individually by new singers determined to replace them. If the existing four outperform their challengers, they survive to sing another week, until the end of the season, when the final four face off against each other. Only one will claim the ultimate prize from the panel of judges – all committed to launching and guiding the winner’s music career.
As part of that grand prize, the winner of The Four: The Battle For Stardom will become part of iHeartMedia’s “On the Verge” artist development program, which will support the winning talent with airplay across iHeartMedia radio stations nationwide. “At iHeartMedia we pride ourselves on discovering and breaking new talent,” said John Sykes, iHeartMedia’s President of Entertainment Enterprises. “Our ‘On the Verge’ initiative has helped launch the careers of artists like Sam Smith, Fifth Harmony, Nick Jonas and many others. We are excited to collaborate with FOX to find the next new artist who will receive this rare opportunity.” Additional details regarding The Four: The Battle For Stardom will be announced soon.
