Subject: RE: New Musician Channel On Sky TV [UK]
A few people been asking how to get on the channel, you need to contact them direct, do this via their website [www.mchannel.tv]
The channel is completely free to view, and they have just extended their broadcast hours, it's now on till 3AM every day, mainly music lessons in the daytime, and unsigned bands/solo singers on a night.
Unfortunately it will not be appearing on Freeview as the channel space on Freeview is very limited. It is no longer neccesary to subsribe to Sky to get a box and dish, they are now offering a Freeview type service, but you need to buy the Sky box, I think it's about £100, see website for proper details, [www.sky.com].
There are no adverts on the channel, so I assume it's sponsored by the instrument companies that offer prizes for competitions, [win a guitar etc], or subsidised by other channels.
