10 March 2016
The long wait is over. After receiving an overwhelming response
from all over Zambia to the Zed Top 10 presenter search callout, Zambezi Magic
has now shortlisted the top 20 entries. These talented finalists
represent a diverse range of presenting styles, techniques and looks, all with
great potential to become the ultimate Zed Top 10 video jockey.
The channel now needs the help of the viewers to pick the Top
10. Starting on Friday the 11th of March to Friday 18th of March 2016, for a
full week, the viewers will be able to vote for their favourite 10 presenters.
Addiel Dzinoreva, Head of Zambezi Magic said “The Zed Top 10 is
one of Zambezi Magic’s most popular shows every week. Zambezi Magic is looking
for a multi lingual and charismatic individual, between 18 and 26 years old,
who is passionate about television, music and the world of entertainment. It’s
a great opportunity for any young Zambian who believes they have what it takes
to be the very first video jockey on Zambezi Magic.”
For this round of the talent search, viewers have an opportunity
to pick the top 10 presenters and eliminate the bottom 10. Viewers can
participate by simply going to http://zambezimagic.dstv.com/zed-top-10-presenter-search-top-20-finalists/,
viewing the Top 20 entries, then voting for their favorite presenter using the
online poll. Viewers are encouraged to create their own top 10 lists and share,
comment, debate and defend their choices.
“Our viewers are now in a position to end the dreams of at least
10 prospects and at the same time move another ten closer to their dream
of becoming a television star. So we want everyone to participate and for
friends, family, and colleagues it’s an opportunity to campaign and make a case
for their favourites.” Dzinoreva said.
Zambezi Magic has provided various opportunities for local
talent in the arts and film industries to show case their talent on DStv
Channel 160. Since its entry onto the market, in July last year, the channel
has launched various shows that include lifestyle, musical countdown, movies,
drama series and religious programmes from six different countries in Southern
Africa. The introduction of a Zambian on air presenter for the Zed Top 10 is
one of the many new local talents coming to Zambezi Magic this year.
Zed Top 10 premiers on Fridays at 21:30 CAT. For more
