SXSW: 299 Queen Street West with Sean Menard and Rick Campanelli

With unprecedented access to the MuchMusic archives, 299 Queen Street West tells the story of a scrappy Canadian television upstart from the perspective of the VJ’s who at the time had no prior TV hosting experience, received no direction, no scripts and broadcasted live across the country. Director Sean Menard and legendary VJ Rick "the Temp" Campanelli joined Becky and Shai for the most anticipated interview of SXSW, and it did not disappoint. Join the FNM Fam for an emotional journey through the most influential music television of our childhood.
