BREAKING. Liezel van der Westhuizen's new TV gig.


You're reading and seeing it here first. Idols presenter Liezel van der Westhuizen is heading back to television with Soundcheck Live, M-Net's new interactive and live music show. Her co-presenter is Bongani Nxumalo.

Soundcheck Live starts on Wednesday, 2 December at 17:00. Soundcheck Live is an hour long, live music request show and will give viewers the opportunity to request music videos from a selection of the best local and international songs.

''The versatility of the show is great,'' says Helen Smit, M-Net's head of local productions. ''Soundcheck Live will have something for everyone, as we draw from a wide variety of music from all over the world and showcase the best local talent too.''

Every episode will have an acoustic performance by local bands and musicians as well as interviews with guests in-studio. Viewers will be able to send emails, SMS's and MMS's to Liezel and Bongani.

''Liezel and Bongani are the perfect hosts for this show. Their combined radio, musical and television experience makes them ideal for interacting with viewers on air.''

Soundcheck Live is produced by Blixem Productions.
