"Countdown Chicago" on ABC WLS TV-7, 12/31

Bucky Covington and Ducky Medlock rock the house in another great shot from Waverly Beach by the very talented Midask9--click here to see more.

If you'll be far away from Chicago as 2008 gets off to a country-style start, never fear--you'll still be able to get a little taste of the rockin' US99 New Year's Eve Ball courtesy of ABC-TV affiliate WLS, who'll broadcast their annual Countdown Chicago show late Monday night. From the station's site:

Nostalgic for a Guy Lombardo New Year's or Big Band swing? How about sampling music from the likes of Frank Sinatra or country music sensation Bucky Covington? And who wants to miss the debut of the new "Dancing with the ABC7 Stars" duo as they take a whirl around the dance floor! Join co-hosts Janet Davies and Mark Giangreco along with Lou Canellis, Michelle Alegria, Doug Banks and Bill Campbell as they bring the excitement of New Year's Eve home to viewers with a tour of some of the best hot spots Chicago has to offer in COUNTDOWN CHICAGO, a live, HD special airing Monday, December 31 from 11:08 PM-12:15 AM on ABC7.

Lou Canellis will toast the New Year with country music's new breed of performers--American Idol's Bucky Covington, Luke Bryan and Keith Anderson--belting out their crowd pleasing hits.

COUNTDOWN CHICAGO will be streamed live and available on demand at abc7chicago.com.

Naturally, if you'll be in the area, a little streamed snippet won't be enough--hop over to Ticketmaster now and see if there's still time to get in on Bucky's last exciting show of 2007 and his first big gig of 2008. More soon!--Winnie

  5. That is too cute! Got it posted out front and thanks for the update--what fun.

    You know, my mom always told me that "money talks"--the fact that Bucky's featured so prominently on that page--where they are selling an expensive product, after all-- says a lot about the starpower the Idol brass clearly now see in him. I'd bet that privately 19's suits still think of him and Elliott as the "ones who got away" in Season 5. 20/20 hindsight...

    (I'm glad he and Idol are on a friendly footing--and I'm also very, very glad that Lyric Street saw what we were seeing and grabbed him fast. :)
