Telemiracle 42 has officially kicked off its annual Telethon with the announcement of its national cast of performers.

This year will be hosting some returning favourites, such as Brad Johner and The Johner Boys, The Hunter Brothers and Sask Express.

The show has some new performers for the fundraiser this year, including Don Amero, The Stampeders and Former Rider and TV Personality, Glenn Suitor.

Along with the new performers, Telemiracle has added a new segment called "Countdown to Telemiracle," which includes extra spots to showcase even more Saskatchewan talent.

"Eleven more people will be able to show Saskatchewan what they have. We've got bands, we've got solo vocalists, we've even got maybe a magician or two," said Program Chair, Susan Colbow. "It's gonna be great and it's the first year that we've done it so we are very excited about that."

The show will feature close to 60 Saskatchewan performers in its 20 hour broadcast. You can click here to see a full list of performers and more details about the show happening on March 3rd and 4th.
