Morgan Evans Signs To Foxtel's Country Music Channel

In an unsurprising but nonetheless celebration-worthy move, national cable-TV broadcaster Foxtel has has announced it has signed ascendant Aussie troubadour Morgan Evans as a presenter, host and ambassador for the Country Music Channel.

A staple feature of the channel as a performer and occasional host for quite some time now, Evans will continue to be the face of a variety of specials on the channel, including stalwart favourite CMC Rocks as well as several other events throughout the year, meaning the triple 2014 CMC Music Awards-winner will be even more of a permeating presence on the channel from here on out.

“Over the last 12 years, CMC has gone from strength to strength with an unrivalled commitment to bring our passionate viewers the very best in local and international country music as well as to curate, nurture and support new talent in Australia,” Music Channels general manager Rebecca Batties said. “We are thrilled to welcome Morgan to the CMC family and believe he will bring a great warmth and energy to the channel.”

It’s a good thing, too, as his renown only grows in the wake of his dual EPs, self-titled full-length , #1 single One Eye For An Eye, new ear-pleaser Like A Tornado and his performance in front of a 50,000-strong crowd (that’s happening for Aussies a bit, lately) at the Country Music Association Music Festival in Nashville, at which he appeared alongside globally revered artists such as Taylor Swift and Alan Jackson.

“I'm extremely excited to officially join Foxtel’s Country Music Channel team,” Evans said. “I've been watching the music channels; Channel V, Max and particularly CMC, since their inception and it feels amazing to now be a part of their future. They're all about the music, and so am I.”

Morgan Evans is presently on a tour of the country, having recently signed to international talent-agency juggernaut William Morris Endeavor. You can check the Gig Guide, or see The Music App, for more information about when and where you can catch him before he pops up on your TV.
