GIGS TV

[AMV001]

Noticed a new channel on Freeview yesterday- GIGS. Seems to be showing only live concert films. Only had time to watch Garbage live in Denver last night (with Eric Avery on bass) but there seems to be a full schedule of various genres.

 

The only issue is that its a data channel rather than broadcast (basically the same as streaming) so the ads cut in randomly and inappropriately i.e interrupting the songs, which is a shame.

 

Apologies if this is old news to others, I only saw it on the channel guide last night so its certainly new to my area.

Any idea what channel number it is? Can’t find it on Freeview in my area.

It would appear to be channel 284. Must see if it's on Virgin.

After doing a bit of browsing, it seems to be something to do with Universal Music Group. All the artists are UMG artists.

 

There is a similar YouTube channel, which will explain why it feels like a streaming service- https://www.youtube.com/@GigsMercuryStudios
