Cowell planning new pop show for ITV
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 10 December 2010
Simon Cowell has indicated that he is developing a new pop music show for ITV1 which might fill the ‘X-Factor’ slot when the tedious talent show is off the air.
The new format wouldn’t be competition based, and it sounds like it would be more of a conventional music programme at least a little bit like the late great ‘Top Of The Pops’, though presumably with a more mainstream music policy to satisfy a prime time ITV audience. Cowell revealed that he was talking to ITV about the new show at a press conference pre-empting this weekend’s ‘X-Factor’ final. He told reporters: “There is always room for more music … and we will be doing something on Saturday nights”.
ITV confirmed ideas were being discussed and a new show could launch next year, but couldn’t provide any more information than that.
