Sucarnochee Revue Goes Television

Mississippi Public Broadcasting will begin filming the Sucarnochee Revue the first Friday night of each month for a television series to be broadcast later this fall. The first taping will occur on August 6 at 7 pm at Meridian’s Temple Theatre, and will be a tribute to Jimmie Rodgers and Elvis, "Jimmie and Elvis." Also, several additional tapings will take place at the University of West Alabama starting August 27. Dr. Judy Lewis Executive Director of Mississippi Public Broadcasting and Jacky Jack White producer/host of the Sucarnochee Revue Radio Program have agreed to partner with schools, agencies, foundations,and businesses in Mississippi and Alabama to produce a television version of the popular radio series. The Sucarnochee Revue begins its seventh season of radio syndication in August. The tapings are open to the public and tickets are $8 at the door.

"This is a significant step in the history of our show and we hope the residual benefit will be great for business, the arts, and tourism in this region of Mississippi and Alabama. We also will work with the radio and television departments of UWA and other schools to teach the practical nuts and bolts of radio/television production and syndication," says White.

In April 2009, Roger Smith, owner of the Temple Theatre, convinced Jacky Jack and Dr. Tina Jones, executive director of the University of West Alabama’s Center for the Study of the Black Belt, of the value of taping in both Meridian and Livingston, Alabama. "At first, the additional work and expense just about exhausted us. Regardless, the new friends we’ve made, and the greater exposure has certainly been worth the effort," according to White.

The Sucarnochee Revue showcases regional music in its most authentic manner. Recently, the Revue was honored by the Country Music Association for its continuing efforts to support the grassroots of country music and has also received recognition and grants from the Black Belt Community Foundation, the Alabama State Council on the Arts, and the Mississippi Arts Commission.

The Sucarnochee Revue airs on public and commercial stations across the country and the world including Saturday afternoons on Meridian’s WMOX-AM, and Alabama and Mississippi Public Radio at 10 pm. For further info call 205 499 9988.
