From today, I will mostly be inactive on this account due to my dissertation fast approaching and in preparation for my first job interview. If there is any breaking news I will return. Thank you to everyone who follows this feed, you all made TVmusic possible! 💙

Why have Sky & Virgin both left the channel slots previously occupied by MTV open? They could easily move the NOW channels so they start at 350/280... Virgin even recently moved Clubland from 292 to 289, so it is possible..!

It will forever amaze me how a lot of European countries make it so easy to broadcast a TV channel even on a reputable platform - and then you get to the UK... Regulatory hell & extortionate fees... We should take a leaf out of Germany's page! Or most other countries in Europe..

I did post about these a couple of years ago but I'd like to bring them up again. These vids by Krash Williams show how he made the closure reels for Box Plus Network. They're an interesting watch and he's a great guy! Check it out here: youtu.be/p4JmFTA3Jhw?si… There's 3 parts!

More about That's TV, the current word is that ~50% of their staff made redundant especially those involved with the local news, alongside the closure of half of their national channels. Their first gazette of compulsory strike-off action takes effect from tomorrow, 3rd March.

TVmusic News @tvmusicnews.co.uk · 02/03/2026

We need another general music channel. Who is with me?

010

TVmusic News @tvmusicnews.co.uk · 28/02/2026

Today, the music channels operated by That's TV will cease linear transmissions. These closures leave only one remaining music channel operator, Universal Music TV. In the past 4 years we have seen Trace, Channel 4, MTV and now That's TV leave music channels behind.

Remember to get your fix of Stereo Underground!! From what I've seen there's even more episodes on the way 👀

Looks like TVmusic News will be becoming NOW Music News soon 😂

TVmusic News @tvmusicnews.co.uk · 24/02/2026

I'm surprised Clubland haven't jumped on the new N-Trance video..!

010

TVmusic News @tvmusicnews.co.uk · 17/02/2026

With That's TV entering the FAST market for the first time, it makes me wonder if they will join other streaming platforms such as Sky Stream and Freely in the near future. Clearly steps are being taken to move forward with streaming by them.

TVmusic News @tvmusicnews.co.uk · 16/02/2026

That's TV are set to replace Now Music on Pluto TV with exclusive FAST versions of their music channels.

020

TVmusic News @tvmusicnews.co.uk · 10/02/2026

I miss when songs came with actual music videos, not just basic lyric videos. When a music video is done right, it can make a song even better, especially when said song follows a story. We need a music video revival!!

010

TVmusic News @tvmusicnews.co.uk · 06/02/2026

Well, Clubland has started to impress me with some of these newer programmes. It's nice to see they're including some songs that isn't Martin Solveig - Intoxicated or some Calvin Harris song from the mid 2010s. I've also spotted a programme reaching up until 2026... Loving it!

010

TVmusic News @tvmusicnews.co.uk · 02/02/2026

That 'Sundown Sessions' countdown on Clubland last night is possibly the best countdown I've seen them create in many years. Plenty of variety, songs you don't normally hear on the channel (or any other music channel for that matter). THIS is the Clubland we need.

TVmusic News @tvmusicnews.co.uk · 31/01/2026

It looks as though Now 90s00s will be playing nothing but the 00s next week! As someone who's a massive fan of the 00s I will be really looking forward to this one.

010

TVmusic News @tvmusicnews.co.uk · 29/01/2026

Quite an interesting find - This Now 90s00s programme is quoting 'Planet Pop' a channel that has not existed for over 10 years! Planet Pop was replaced with Chilled TV in 2015, which then went on to become Chilled 90s, Now 90s and finally (and currently) Now Rock.

000

TVmusic News @tvmusicnews.co.uk · 26/01/2026

It appears the 'Pink's Greatest Hits' programme on Now 90s00s has been extended to include some 2010s too. I love to see it!

020

TVmusic News @tvmusicnews.co.uk · 26/01/2026

Same song, same programme! At least the second time round I can sing along to the lyrics

010

TVmusic News @tvmusicnews.co.uk · 26/01/2026

This 'Every Massive Number 1 - 2000-2009' programme on Clubland is 90% not dance music most of the time and I find that a bit bizarre... The channel can be great at times but otherwise it is straight up chaotic!

000

TVmusic News @tvmusicnews.co.uk · 24/01/2026

Belt out like Beckham... Whoever came up with this one is an absolute genius 😂😂

020

TVmusic News @tvmusicnews.co.uk · 21/01/2026

Clubland TV has now moved on Virgin from channel 292 to 289.

010

TVmusic News @tvmusicnews.co.uk · 17/01/2026

I'd do anything to bring a music channel back that was like MTV Music or The Box. 3 weeks on and I hope I speak for all of us here when I say that it feels like there is something missing.. I can't ignore that times have changed, and I sadly don't think a music channel like that will ever be back.

TVmusic News @tvmusicnews.co.uk · 14/01/2026

I've had a few (but not all) of Discovery's FTA channels added to Freely. The missing channels at present are: Quest (HD?) TLC (HD?) Really

000

TVmusic News @tvmusicnews.co.uk · 13/01/2026

Do you think it is time more channels went High Definition on the likes of Sky & Virgin Stream? There's no longer an issue of higher definition channels taking up more bandwidth of an expensive to run Satellite, so what exactly is stopping them?

010

TVmusic News @tvmusicnews.co.uk · 12/01/2026

Still saved in my Sky Stream's watchlist 🥲

TVmusic News @tvmusicnews.co.uk · 10/01/2026

Hello, world! We're aware it has been a while since we posted here, but with the uncertainty over the future of Twitter, we have decided a return to Bluesky may be necessary shortly. We are aware our domain has expired, but rest assured we will have a new one very shortly.

Virgin Media's EPG image database has now updated the Club MTV logo to the latest version.

In the past few days, NOW Music have made a Eurovision countdown programme to coincide with the forthcoming Eurovision Song Contest of 2025. It includes Duncan James from Blue fronting, with initial and further airings on NOW 80s and NOW 90s & 00s. -F (1/2)

Hello everyone! I am leaving all social media including YouTube for an indefinite period as I am a little bit concerned about my mental health at this moment in time. Thank you for understanding.

TVmusic News @tvmusicnews.co.uk · 20/02/2025

Rick Buckler, drummer of The Jam, sadly passed away on the 17th at the age of 69. NOW 80s has been running tribute programs throughout the day as well as late last night.

010

TVmusic News @tvmusicnews.co.uk · 16/02/2025

If MTV downgraded their audio bitrate of their two main music channels to 128kb/s over the past few years, I wonder how long it'll be until they're broadcasting in Mono with a 4:3 aspect ratio 😂

TVmusic News @tvmusicnews.co.uk · 14/02/2025

That's Melody on That's TV 2 is currently using the That's 60s logo.

The 2016 version of 'Forever Yours' by Avicii has officially been released today. 7 years without him and his music is still, and always will be, some of the greatest music that came out of the Dance genres.

MTV Music is now using a Valentines-themed graphic.

010

TVmusic News @tvmusicnews.co.uk · 12/02/2025

That's TV 2 will be airing That's Melody on Valentine's Day, in a block called 'That's Melody Love Songs'.

TVmusic News @tvmusicnews.co.uk · 12/02/2025

According to someone at Sky, That's TV will be on Sky Glass on Channel 171. I'm currently at University so I can't directly check this. If anyone else with Sky Glass could confirm this it would be great.

010

TVmusic News @tvmusicnews.co.uk · 11/02/2025

Vinyl isn't the answer for ultra high-quality audio, but there is something about taking an LP out of a huge album sleeve, the effort of cleaning the record, setting the needle down and listening the entire way through that pressing a play button on a screen can't match.

010

TVmusic News @tvmusicnews.co.uk · 11/02/2025

Some news outlets are reporting that 40 extra channels will be launching to Sky Glass, so it looks highly likely that That's TV 1-3 and Oldies, Melody and Dance will be included in this... As for the other 34 channels we will wait and see!

010

TVmusic News @tvmusicnews.co.uk · 11/02/2025

That's TV has been removed from the 'TV channels not currently available on Sky Glass or Sky Stream' list. The channels were not on this morning when I checked so I will have a look when I get back tonight. The list also suggests that Eurosport has been removed from Sky Glass.

000

TVmusic News @tvmusicnews.co.uk · 11/02/2025

Sky has today revealed Sky Glass Gen 2 (available from tomorrow) and Sky Glass Air (available later this year). Sky Entertainment OS is becoming Sky OS, enhanced soundbar and better viewing angles on Gen 2. Prices remain the same as Gen 1, channel variety looks to be the same

First exam season of the year over with and I've passed everything so far... There's nothing more nerve wracking than when you still have one more you haven't heard about 😭

TVmusic News @tvmusicnews.co.uk · 07/02/2025

At this point, why don't they just switch MTV Hits UK for MTV Hits Europe? They're both using the same playlist, MTV Hits Europe has no adverts, and an audio bitrate of 256 kB/s compared to the absolutely terrible sounding (almost unlistenable for music) 128 kB/s we get here.

010

TVmusic News @tvmusicnews.co.uk · 06/02/2025

On Valentines Day across all of the MTV channels we will see: Music: MTV's 50 Love Songs of the 10s & 20s 20 Indie Love Songs Live HD: Adore U... MTV Loves Love Hits: Nothing But Love Songs! Love Is In The Air: Top 20 Feelgood Love Songs! Crazy In Love! 00s Vs 10s Top 50 1/2

TVmusic News @tvmusicnews.co.uk · 06/02/2025

Fun Fact: up until 2019, Clubland TV had programming dedicated to K-Pop. The programmes appeared to be well-received online, but mustn't have done well enough in terms of ratings for them to continue.

010

TVmusic News @tvmusicnews.co.uk · 04/02/2025

Earlier tonight some of the That's TV group of channels experienced a technical problem. The outcomes of each channel are... rather bizarre.
