"It's exciting to host this show every week with Josh and Caity," said series co-host Matt Pinfield. "Thanks to AXS TV and DWP, there is finally a destination to see all the hottest new rock videos every week on POWER HOUR. There hasn't been a destination on TV like this for fans of rock music in a long time."

"Rock is such an important genre in the music industry and has been largely ignored by mainstream TV. A weekly show that focuses specifically within the realm of rock is long overdue and we are thrilled to be on the frontline with AXS TV in bringing it to the airwaves," says Chamie McCurry, Chief Marketing Officer at Danny Wimmer Presents. "Our hosts' passion for music, combined with decades of experience covering the genre, promise to deliver a one-two punch covering all things in the week of rock!"

"POWER HOUR is tailor-made for AXS TV viewers, giving them all the latest information on the artists they love and the music that moves them," said Katie Daryl, AXS TV's Vice President of Programming. "This is the first time AXS TV is airing a true rock news magazine, and we could not think of anyone better to lead it than Matt, Josh, and Caity. They each have a deep passion for music and unparalleled knowledge that spans across a wide range of eras. We are excited to have them onboard and the DWP team, and we cannot wait to debut this new genre for our audience - creating the ultimate destination where they can come and keep current with all of their favorite bands right here in one place."
