DESCRIPTION:
(from Anheuser-Busch's press release, January 2012) Nothing says The Big Time like opening on stage at the MGM Grand Arena for the likes of will.i.am, Sublime with Rome, and Jane's Addiction at the iHeartRadio Music Festival. That's what's at stake for three singer-songwriters, cast via the world's first social reality show, when they compete in the premiere episode of Bud United presents: The Big Time, debuting Saturday, January 21 at 3 p.m. EST, as part of an agreement by Budweiser with ESPN/ABC to broadcast all seven episodes on ABC. The seven-part Bud United presents: The Big Time features young adults from across the globe fulfilling their dreams - from racing professional racecar drivers and suiting up for a global soccer powerhouse to pitching for a professional baseball team and taking center stage at a major music concert. Individuals from all over the world had the opportunity to be selected for the global show by submitting a casting application online. Along with ABC's broadcast in the United States, Budweiser is working with international entertainment distribution company FreemantleMedia Enterprises to distribute the show globally.
