Loud (TV series)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Loud is a half-hour Canadian television program that airs Saturdays at 11:30 PM and 4:30 AM on MuchMusic. The program airs heavy metal and hardcore music videos. There is a spinoff digital cable television channel called MuchLOUD that is owned and operated by CHUM Limited.

The show usually airs metal videos from recent years, though on occasion, they'll air a classic video from the 1980s or 90s, or a video from a rising Canadian band. When the show is airing concurrently with a major tour (i.e. Ozzfest, Gigantour), videos from the main bands of said tour will be aired.

Loud could be considered the Canadian equivalent of MTV2's Headbangers Ball, which MuchMusic and it's affiliate networks don't have on their schedules. Despite it being the only guaranteed way to watch metal videos on MuchMusic, Loud is often subject to preemptions during it's 11:30 timeslot.
