EDMtv (lower cased as edmtv on its logo) is an American cable and streaming television network, based in Los Angeles, California. The channel launched as a streaming service on March 24, 2015, and expanded to satellite television, where it claimed to debut on DirecTV on March 14, 2016, but no official channel number has been released. The official press release states that "EDMtv is available to all Directv subscribers- over 21 Million households- via the MYTV platform," however DirecTV does not have a programming package called "MYTV." The official press release states that the channel broadcasts daily from 4-6pm and again from 11-1am EST, which would not make the channel a full-time network provider.
History[edit]
EDMtv's origins began as a concept idea between Matt Bolton, a music producer, record executive, and the CEO of a management firm, along with partner and CO-founder Scott Cardoza, a veteran Rave music producer, promoter, and television producer who currently runs a television production company and a technology information blog. Also added to the team were New Zealand entrepreneurs Alex Curson, Co-Founder of BabeMethod, and Jonathan Stubbs, CEO of Ambitious, a New Zealand base design consultancy company. The latest addition to the team, marketing and branding guru Yoel Berrios, C.E.O. of Orb Media Broadcasting, Inc. and Publisher of EDM Magazine.
The channel would make its debut as a one-hour block on KVMD/Los Angeles, California on March 24, 2015, followed by a Kickstarter campaign to raise enough funds to launch a cable network, which paid off with the DirecTV deal and plans to expand to other providers.[1]
"The music is just the start," say Bolton. "The people, the places, the deals, the real stories that are alive in the scene is what we’re after. We want to incubate, stimulate and dedicate ourselves to this task. It really is an honor to become the first network ever to do content that is specific to electronic music and the culture it nourishes."[2]
Details and Programming[edit]
EDMtv's programs will include scripted shows, documentaries, broadcast news, 3D festival streaming and other event coverage. Original programming includes Viva Vegas TV (Las Vegas entertainment coverage) and The Spin (news/entertainment talk program).
