MUSIC NEWS - Daily for the past few years, punk/emo/indie/alternative rock fans around the country have tuned in to FUSE TV for Steven's Untitled Rock Show where the host (and rock music fan) Steven Smith offered up news and stories on top bands and tours from the comfort of a lovely couch (and often on the road or at a gig. Yet, in unexpected news, the end of SURS, at 701 episodes, is upon us. The show won't been renewed for the 2009 season. (see post from the show's intern below). Yes, another live rock tv show is coming to an end !
Andrew the Intern made the MySpace bulletin announcement earlier today:
Good evening Friends,
It is with a heavy heart that I must inform you all that production on SURS has ceased as of this week. We got word yesterday that we won't be coming back next year, and this came as a shock and disappointment to all after an incredible 701-episode run.
Please tune in Monday, Tuesday (#700!) and Wednesday next week to catch the final three Rock Shows. Since you'll hopefully be off for the holidays maybe you can even watch us when we actually air, at 2:00pm (I know, right?!). Perhaps the saddest thing about all this is that we didn't know when we taped them that they would be our last, so Steven will tell you on Wednesday that we'll be back in January after a hiatus. Don't listen to him, we sadly will not. On the bright side I know that several of you will win phones so watch for that reason if no other :) I want these to be the 3 highest rated episodes of any show, ever.
Fuse lives on of course, and you'll still be able to catch Steven on #1 Countdown and probably a new show or two as well. This page will stay up as a monument to all of you and your massive support for this show. I'll probably check in from time to time and I'm sure Esteban will too. Thank you so much for all your messages, questions and texts over the years (or "Thnks fr th mmrs," as I understand the kids say these days). You Are The Coolest Fans In Television, and you were what made this the best show to work on. I bet Oprah doesn't even have 66,656 friends on myspace. Heck, I bet Fran Drescher doesn't.
Courage,
Andrew the Intern the PA
