NEW YORK – The Caribbean International Network (CIN TV) is proud to announce the second airing of Rising Stars, on Ch. 73 starting Sunday, February 15th, at 7:00 p.m.
“Rising Stars” which is similar to “American Idol”, is the number one reality talent show on local television in Jamaica. It showcases untapped Jamaican talent and brings it to the forefront in fine style. The contestants each reflect a different part of Jamaican culture and music, showing the diversity of our nation.
“I’m thrilled about the tremendous response to our first season and eagerly, look forward to another winning series. As individuals, the contestants have developed a ton. They are extremely fun loving and enjoy each other’s company and that’s always good,” said Ms. Yendi Phillipps.
