We’ll bring back the respect, promises ARIAs creative director Burcham
The Conscience Organisation is to produce this year’s ARIA Music Awards with TCO boss Clive Burcham to be the event’s creative director and executive producer.
Burcham told Mumbrella: “It’s going to be about bringing class and respect back to the ARIAs.”
Last year’s event, which was broadcast on Ten, was widely derided for its presentation problems and the little attention paid by the audience on the steps of the Sydney Opera House.
This year’s ARIAs will be broadcast as live on a two and a half hour delay on Nine’s digital channel Go. The Australian Recording Industry Industry Association Awards began in 1987.
“Bringing class and respect back to the ARIAs”??? Good luck with that… they never had it in the first place.
Congrats TCO and Clive!
Indeed. “Class” , “respect” and “Arias”. Has to be the first time those words were used in the same sentence. The broadcast makes the Logies look slick and professional.
Awesome. Clive will sort it.
Good luck, nice audacious goal to strive for. Hope you succeed.
“This year’s ARIAs will be broadcast as live on a two and a half hour delay on Nine’s digital channel Go.”
That sad sentence says it all. Now relegated to a secondary channel and not live in the age of Twitter, Facebook, etc etc etc.
If Jezabels don’t win best album I will never watch the Aria’s again.
