Sky Digital viewers will have access to 23 music TV channels by Thursday,
once Sky has launched its three new music stations. The trio, called Scuzz,
The Amp and Flaunt, go on air on April 17 at 2pm. Flaunt will be available
on channel 469, Scuzz on channel 471 and The Amp on 473. Lester Mordue,
Sky's head of music, claims the channels will "push the boundaries of music
TV by allowing viewers to vote with their remote control for the next video
to be played." The channels have been carrying out test transmissions at
10.876GHz/V (SR 22000 and FEC 5/6). [April 13]
