Last night I caught an episode of the The Brand New TV Show on WPME channel 17 here in Portland . The magazine style show arrangement and humor made for viewing enjoyment as Co-host and Executive Producer Matthew McDonald shared with viewers the happenings of Portland, as well as local music talent Sidecar Radio, who noted their upcoming gigs which include opening for 311.
Matthew’s delivery of the content kept me glued to 30 minute show wondering what was to come next, along with the Conan O’Brien-like witty/silly comments and questions he posed to the guests and fellow Co-host Chrystie Corns.
I understand the co-hosts and set change each episode, keeping with the ever changing content, as Matthew and Director Scott Hamann of Harbor Light Films provide viewers with Portland events with a touch of the Portland music scene. During this particular episode, they not only mentioned what was going on in the area, there were shout outs to local businesses and individuals, and I noticed they cut to commercials of local businesses like The Beadin’ Path in Freeport.
Overall an impressive show, which already has a strong following thanks to Twitter (you can follow the show at twitter.com/brandnewtvshow and their handle @brandnewtvshow). Perhaps some day I will be a co-host or guest. A man can dream for another 15 minutes of fame…
