Bands...have your video played here...

Hey punters, I work for a local telly station, and we're tossing up the idea of starting a local music slot on the tv. The focus would be on local Wellington acts, and the material would be videos, live sets and interviews with these bands. 100% Kiwi music. The chance to get your material played on television.
The other focus of the program is to give a gig guide that highlights the coming attractions to the Capital. I saw Augustino and Pluto play an excellent gig to a meager crowd last week at Indigo, and thats a goddamn shame. Its a farce that excellent bands get not a lotta crowd support. If any bands, local or otherwise are touring, this show can be your hotspot - You come into the studio before the show, do an interview, we play your video clip and HOPEFULLY raise the awareness of gigs happening in Wellington.
This can only happen if I get some interest in the idea. So if you're interested, talk up a storm, and email me at wtvshow@hotmail.com.

Forums: NZ Music,

when the channel's up and running how do we tune in?

WILL people tune in?...

isn't there already / has been / a wgtn music channel?

do the people that support live alternative kiwi music (not talking about feelers/zed/tadpole/stellar/k'lee/puke) actually watch TV AT ALL?

seems to me we've given up on telly - and good - because it's a bad habit and we should all go out and create live community spirit etc...

now you're gonna say TV could bring a whole new audience to alt.kiwi music... yeah well I reckon people who dig TV 'dig it' because they 'dig' all the shmulz - and they ain't gonna change

and u ain't gonna get me tuning in cos I gotta sit thru so much mind-insulting shit just to find out the good stuff has heaps of mind-numbing crud all thru it too

sorry - this became a rant....

but it's a paradox no? make TV for a discerning audience - but then find your audience never watches TV because they're too discerning
