64): Pay-per-view pipeline Viewer's Choice is ringing in the millennium with a new identity and the first PPV concert from The Artist (formerly known as prince). Viewer's Choice, which officially become iNDEMAND on Jan. 1, will cablecast the performance, The Rave un2 The Year 2000, at 10:00 PM ET on Dec. 31. Rave runs for three hours, and retails for -surprise- 19.99. The event itself will be recorded at the little big man's Paisley Park studio in Minneapolis on Dec. 18. The Artist's PPV debut follows the release of Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic, his latest compilation released on NPG/Arista Records Nov 9. A Viewer's Choice spokesman says the event will be predceded by a marketing sweep, including cross-channel and MSO promotions, plus appearances by The Artist on The Chris Rock Show and Larry King Live. Now there's a conversation for the millenium. | |
