What's On Tonight (Sunday): Biography will rock you

Biography

Shark! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, June 30!

Our Top Pick tonight is Biography (A&E, 9 & 10 p.m.). The once-upon-a-time staple of A&E only returns for themed runs, such as the WWE spinoff. The flagship is back this month with hard rock musician profiles on Bret Michaels, Dee Snider, Alice Cooper, and tonight's double feature: Sammy Hagar and Sebastian Bach.

Elsewhere, BET presents its awards, Shark Fest 2024 begins, there's Vampire fallout, the Hotel has spies, Echo alarms are sounded, the Project has kinks, and Andy Cohen celebrates 15 years of WWHL.

(All times are Eastern. All listings are new unless otherwise stated. For more listings, visit The Futon Critic or Zap2it.)
