"It's not often that a South African broadcaster gets to broadcast from this premier music awards-event, let alone even be there - 5FM is embarking on a first for South Africa! We're going to represent SA and get behind our African nominees (especially Zamajobe). It's about time the world stood up and took notice of our amazing talent!" said Fox.
5FM's live broadcast from Lisbon started with Fox's pre-awards show on Wednesday, 2 November 2005, featuring all the behind-the-scenes gossip, the scoop on the nominees, the vibe in the streets of Lisbon, interviews with the stars and a sample of all the pre-event parties and rehearsals.
Tonight, on awards night, Thursday, 3 November, Fox will be doing live crossings from the actual event - reporting on the latest award news straight from the pressroom and also interviewing nominees on the red carpet.
Friday, 4 November, is Nicole's post-awards show and will highlight all the MTV Europe Music Awards-news worth knowing, as well as a special one-on-one interview with Zamajobe. She will also do another round-up of all the cultural delights on offer in Lisbon - the food, the people, the fashion, the language and the parties.
