This Thursday night will see the first episode broadcast in a new, home-made quiz show, Play by Ear.

Play by Ear is the follow up to the award-winning general knowledge quiz show, After the Fact, which ran on CCR from 2011 to 2014.

However, in Play by Ear the contestants will be challenged on their knowledge of all things musical.  Over the series, host John Nolan will test eight teams of two players with the top two teams taking part in a grand final in early May.

Play by Ear will be broadcast on Thursday evenings at 8pm and repeated on Saturdays at the same time.
