TORONTO, May 2 /CNW/ - MuchMusic is pleased to announce the People’s

Sunday, June 16, 2002

Red Carpet Arrivals LIVE @ 7:30 p.m. ET
Awards Broadcast LIVE @ 9 p.m. ET

Voting/Buzz/Contest Info at http://www.muchmusic.com/MMVA02 or dialing
1-800-226-VOTE, starting on May 13.

The MMVAs - LIVE from Much Headquarters in Toronto - has consistently
garnered international critical acclaim, set the gold standard for live TV
production and delivered proof positive that there IS life on the Canadian
awards show scene. In addition to exclusive red carpet coverage direct from
the heart of the city at Queen and John Sts., the 2002 MMVAs - LIVE Sunday,
June 16 beginning at 7:30pm ET - will be fuelled by the energy of 1200 fans
who’ve scored the coveted “parking lot wristband” to enjoy a free festival-
style show with top Canadian and international headliners. Add in the nearly
1800 invited guests partying throughout the rest of our building - plus some
serious schmoozing, stargazing and a vibrant “no bums in seats” credo - and
the 2002 MMVAs are guaranteed to be an unparalleled live TV blowout.

Available to some 60 million homes across North America on MuchMusic and
MuchUSA, the MMVAs are back following last year’s widely discussed
cancellation in the wake of September 11 - and heading into a new, permanent
slot on the summer scene (the event will take place every June instead of
every September). Stay tuned in the days to come for the full list of
nominees, program details and confirmation of performers, presenters and
celebrity guests.

In addition to voting and keeping up with MMVA buzz at
http://www.muchmusic.com/MMVA02, fans can find info on entering to win a trip
for two to MuchMusic, along with spending money and two VIP tickets to attend
the festivities.
