Q. What is special about the new channel?
A. None of what we air is anything you’ve seen on other channels before. What I feel is best for the channel right now is to try and make it as honest and organic as possible.

Music will be played on the basis of moods, rather than genre. Instead of full-blown shows we’re going to have snappy eight-minute vignettes, which are being ideated by a young crew of indie artistes; it’s so informal that you might even catch them hanging around in the background on the show.


One For The Road is a show on the channel where musicians will partake in impromptu gigs
