NEWS ALERT: P. Diddy launches talent search for his cable television network REVOLT

P. Diddy has launched a global talent search to find a presenter for his REVOLT TV network.

The ‘Come With Me‘ rapper is looking for a young person aged between 13 and 25 to join his REVOLT TV network as a presenter, and has been personally evaluating the 15-second audition tapes submitted by applicants.

On Tuesday September 10, 2013, he posted on Twitter: ‘The time is NOW people, get your submissions in #IAmRevolt!!! ‘guess what?!? tweet your audition videos for @RevoltTV now! make sure you add hashtag #IamRevolt so I can check it out now!!!!!!

‘the next 10 ppl to submit their videos will be viewed by me!!!!!!! I’m WAITING PPL!!!!!!!!!! LET’S GOOOOOO!!! (sic)’

Diddy’s online TV channel is launching in October and he’s keen to hire the freshest and most innovative people to appear on it from anywhere around the world.

He said in a statement launching the talent search: ‘I need individuals that are fearless and speak the truth. Young talent. Fresh faces. Attitude. I want to empower the creators of this generation and show artists this is their channel.’ Anyone wanting to enter the talent search should upload their video via Twitter, Instagram, Vine, Vimeo, Facebook or YouTube with an #iamrevolt hastag and another describing their musical style. The video must end by saying ‘I Am REVOLT’ and be submitted before September 30.

The launch of Combs' network was announced back in February with several news outlets, including the New York Times, reporting that Comcast had acquired distribution rights for Revolt. In June, however, network representatives reported that they had also finalized a national carriage deal with Time Warner Cable; which will make Revolt one of the largest launches in cable TV history when it goes live next month.

The open casting call will close on September 30, and submissions will be narrowed down through the month of October. One top participant could be offered the chance of a lifetime to join REVOLT as an on-air host.
