After a rigorous selection process for
the search for TLC’s Next Great Presenter, Discovery Networks decided to
extend its Top 10 semi-finalists to a Top 12, based on the high quality of
entries received. Now the first semi-finalists have been revealed on TLC
Entertainment (DStv channel 172).
Making it into the Top 12 so far are
Nigeria’s Adenike, Felix from Kenya, Tendai from Zimbabwe, Bahumi and Lisa both
from South Africa. More semi-finalists are being revealed daily on the channel
every evening from 5pm.
“We are extremely impressed with the
quality of entries received for our Next Great Presenter Campaign. We
had a difficult time nominating and narrowing down the Top 10 as TLC fans are
just so talented and passionate about the channel!’ said Lee Hobbs, VP of
Channels for Discovery Networks. “So we decided to extend the
semi-finalist list to a Top 12 and offer two extra lucky fans the opportunity
to make it through to the next stage of the competition. These semi-finalists
are all confident, engaging and enthusiastic and a perfect fit for TLC in terms
of their passion, attitude and vibrancy.”
After all the Top 12 semi-finalists
have been revealed, they will go through to the next phase of the competition;
a three-day bootcamp where they will attend various mentorship sessions hosted
by experts in the industry. The sessions will include: performance and
presenting coaching, media training and wardrobe styling to help them prepare
for the next round and avoid elimination.
In the end, it will be up to the
viewers to choose the winner from the three shortlisted finalists who make it
through the boot camp stage. The winner will ultimately be crowned TLC's
Next Great Presenter and become the official host of TLC TOP 10 – a brand
new series coming to TLC Entertainment in December.
