<strong>Simon Cowell</strong>'s DJ competition reality show appears to have a home.

X-Factor for DJs is featured on djrankings.org. It will premiere on <strong>Yahoo</strong>'s online streaming platform <strong>Yahoo Screen</strong>, which made a large jump into the music sphere with an announced partnership with <strong>Live Nation</strong> to stream a concert a day live via the platform. Yahoo how- plans to premiere the weekly show, tentatively titled <strong><em>Ultimate DJ</em></strong>, from the <em><strong>American Idol</strong></em> and <em><strong>X-Factor</strong></em> producer that will pit electronic dance music DJs against each other in a reality show where they will compete to be voted the best are-one.
In other words, it's basically going to be the X-Factor for DJs.
Put together with US events company SFX Entertainment, sources close to Yahoo are saying it'll air weekly and mix pre-recorded elements with live performances, while they reckon Tumblr will be the place to vote.
The concept hasn't gone down too well with Fatboy Slim, who turned down a chance to be a judge on the show in 2013 and apparently said "fuck off" to the "terrible idea" when approached about it.
