KayvonTV is to become one of the first online shows in Canada to make a jump from small screen to big one (that is, from online video to cable television.)
Kayvon’s brand of guerrilla-style reporting was born online, through his website and YouTube channel. His YouTube channel eventually got so popular – yielding millions of video views and thousands of comments that a music television channel in Canada – AUX came knocking.
The ironic thing – on the eve of Kayvon’s television debut – the producers have found his YouTube channel suspended for an unexplained reason. And getting threw to YouTube for answers has proven an almost impossible task for the KayvonTV team.
The announcement of KayvonTV’s imminent AUX debut did bring out a few detractors, with this Toronto online press having this to tweet.
But on later reflection, and after reviewing the debut KayvonTV AUX episode – that same online source did offer this;

KayvonTV makes its world TV premiere on AUX on March 1st.
