Gospel gets real

VisionTV is jumping onto the reality TV bandwagon with its new production, Gospel Challenge. Described as a lifestyle/documentary series, the show will give aspiring Canadian gospel singers a chance at their big break.
Created in cooperation with Riddle Films, Gospel Challenge will follow three professional choir leaders from Toronto, Montreal and Halifax as they each attempt to put together a 16-member amateur choir and prepare them for a concert in Toronto — all within one week.
Auditions were held over the summer. The show is slated for broadcast sometime in 2006, and is part of VisionTV's new lineup of faith-based lifestyle programs. VisionTV is a Canadian multi-faith and multicultural television station.
