US: Two-A-Days The Challenge (Season 2 Premiere)
Welcome back to Hoover, Alabama, where football still rules the South. This season of Two-A-Days follows the highly ranked Hoover High Buccaneers through the 2006 high school football season as they drive for their fifth state championship title. After winning four titles in five years, the whole town is expecting this team to bring home trophy number five. These athletes live with the tremendous pressure to maintain Hoover's legendary reputation - not to mention keeping their grades up, keeping their girlfriends happy, and attempting to live a relatively normal senior year. Will their relationships be able to stand the test of two-a-day practices? Will they be the team to set a new record for Hoover? Watch the second season of Two-A-Days to find out just how hard they'll work to survive both the football season and their last year of high school.

UK: Abominwé by Lionel Loueke
Lionel Loueke is an African guitarist who plays with such a fluidity and dexterous skill that he's becomes an in-demand player on both the jazz and African music sides. Our free Single of the Week introduces you to his subtle voice, and more importantly, shows you the sort of unique approach he has on the guitar. His experience as a percussionist gives him a rhythmic style, but his finger picking and melodic invention provides something even more unique. Have a listen - it's on us.
