Thread Name: Why is there never Folk on TV?
Subject: RE: Why is there never Folk on TV?
Out of 29 music video channels that Sky Broadcasting broadcast they seem dedicated in broadcasting the absolute loose translation of the meaning of music.

1 channel dedicated to classical music
4 channels dedicated to metal noise
4 channels dediactes to MOBO
the rest (20) play processed noise aka pop
None are run by the BBC whom have one of the largest music archives out of all the channels in the world!!!

I think that at some point a channel dedicated to folk music and folk dance should come soon whether it's run by the BBC or an independent production company (say... FTV?!?).

I'd watch it and certainly it would be a nice idea for all those incapable of getting to a venue.

Any millionaire takers out there?
