WKAR-TV 'Backstage Pass' Christmas Special
Christmas tracks from alt-rocker The Verve Pipe, festival songs from local jazz great Thom Jayne--- just a sampling of what’s on tap for Thursday's WKAR "BackStage Pass" Christmas special.
WKAR-TV’s popular music television series runs the special holiday show, "A BackStage Pass Christmas," Thursday, Dec. 23 at 10 p.m. and Dec. 25 at 11 p.m. on WKAR-HD/23, featuring a wide array of local talent, holiday-fied.
The special is a compilation of sorts, featuring performances from artists on the upcoming season (debuting Jan. 20 with Those Delta Rhythm Kings), as well as previous BackStage Pass players.
WKAR’s "BackStage Pass" is nationally syndicated the National Educational Telecommunications Association (NETA). The series, which airs on HD/23 in Lansing, represents a partnership between WKAR and Michigan State University’s Telecommunications, Information Studies and Media and the College of Communication Arts and Sciences through a comprehensive internship program and sharing of technology.
