Just as The Tom Joyner Show is firming up its production team, the upcoming syndicated music-variety series has added another major-market clearance. KABC-TV, the ABC O&O in Los Angeles, has cleared the weekly hourlong show for its October launch. The news means the show -- hosted by radio personality Joyner -- has been cleared in 75% of the country. In addition, Ehrich Van Lowe has been named executive producer, Don Weiner has been tapped as director-producer, and Jeffrey Kopp will serve as supervising producer of Tom Joyner, which will include performances by musicians and comedians, comedy sketches and offbeat local-market vignettes.

Marla Sokoloff just wants to rock. Sokoloff, a co-star on ABC's The Practice, has signed on to star in an ABC drama project from Touchstone TV and Maverick Films centering on a teen pop star, Alyx Mason, who turns her back on the glitz and glamour to focus on honing her chops as a musician. The project, tentatively titled Alyx, was created by Brad Bredeweg and Amber Lawson and developed by Sweet Lorraine Prods. Ehrich Van Lowe, head of Sweet Lorraine, will executive produce along with Maverick principals Madonna and Guy Oseary. Melissa Rosenberg (Boston Public) will pen the script and also serve as an exec producer.
