Four-time World and Canadian Champion Kurt Browning stars in a new television special that blends big band, dance hall and velvety smooth moves and tunes. Set in an intimate nightclub on ice, KURT BROWNING'S GOTTA SKATE III airs Wednesday, Dec. 3 at 8 p.m. on CBC Television.

Vancouver singing sensation Michael Buble guest stars in the special, and even serenades the audience while on skates for one of his numbers. The Philadelphia Inquirer states, "With a voice timeless and true, Canada's young Michael Buble is an heir to Sinatra and other masters of smooth style." The New York Times declared that Buble "drips with star quality."
