The Tube (TV Channel)
Encyclopedia : T : TH : THE : The Tube (TV Channel)
The Tube Music Network is a music video network carried on select digital television subchannels and digital cable systems. The network's president and founder is Les Garland, a veteran of MTV and VH1. The Tube is a wholly owned subsidiary of [The Tube Media Corp.] (OTCBB: [TUBM]), and is independent from any major media company.
The Tube airs classic and modern music videos in a format similar to the original format of Music Television and Video Hits One. There are no reality shows, award shows or game shows on the network, as they plan on having nothing more than music programming on their lineup.
Currently, it is available mostly in markets in which Raycom Media operates stations. According to a March 2006 article in The New York Times, Tribune Broadcasting has announced that it will start multicasting The Tube on its DTV channels in summer 2006. [link] However, as of Mid-April 2006, it has already begun transmission on digital television in New York City and Los Angeles. On March 23, Sinclair Broadcasting announced they would start multicasting The Tube on many of their outlets in the summer of 2006 as well. [link]
