SBS6 is launching Sing With Me, a talent show in which contestants sing while coaches can join in to recruit them for their teams. Nick Schilder, Davina Michelle, Yves Berendse and Waylon are involved as coaches or jurors. Schilder said the programme focuses more on the enjoyment of singing together and harmony than on competition, although contestants could still make a strong enough impression to emerge as new stars. One report said the coaches compete to secure the best performers. The programme is due to air on SBS6 in the autumn.
