TORONTO – CHCH has issued a casting call for the second season of its rebooted version of Tiny Talent Time.
Auditions for for children 12 years and under, both single and group talent acts, is underway now through June 30 through online video submissions. Tiny Talent Time season 2 will run for 26 weeks on CHCH in the form of 30-minute episodes beginning in the winter of 2016.
The airing of the original Tiny Talent Time spanned 35 years in its first run, from 1957 to 1992, and is one of the longest running and most-loved family shows in Canadian history. Unlike many of today’s talent shows – where contestants vie for positive comments from the judges and viewer votes, CHCH’s Tiny Talent Time takes viewers back to a the era of tap-dancing tots and pint-sized magicians sharing their developing talents, just for the fun of it.
“The first season of Tiny Talent Time was very well received by CHCH viewers,” said Jennifer Chen, VP of programming for Channel Zero (parent company to CHCH). “We knew that our hand-picked little stars would tug at the heartstrings of parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles across the country, and we are excited to be doubling the number of episodes in Season 2, allowing more children to showcase their talents on stage.”
Season 1 hosts Jason Agnew (YTV’s Splatalot) and Jaclyn Colville (CHCH Morning Live First Edition) will return to host season 2.
