New music channel to target oldies
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 30 June 2010
A music channel aimed at the over 50s will launch later this year. Called Vintage TV, the channel will air on Sky and Freesat and will feature music from the 1950s to 1980s (including 500 videos especially made for the channel for rock and pop songs released in the era before the pop promo) as well as documentaries and interview shows based around music and popular culture from that era. The new channel is being headed up by David Pick, formerly an exec at EMI Music Publishing, with former ITV production chief Teresa Watts involved in programme making. Paul Gambaccini will be the new network’s flagship presenter.
