Scuzz is a satellite television channel, showing music videos, owned by Chart Show Channels. It is operated as part of a trio, with Bliss and Flaunt as its sister stations, and has changed from channel number 471 to channel number 364 in order to meet Sky Digital's new channel number scheme.
Scuzz airs a wide range of modern and classic Rock and Metal music, ranging from Emo to Black Metal, particularly specializing in the hardcore and metalcore genres. Scuzz tends to play slightly more underground music videos than the other British rock channel Kerrang, although they do share quite a few songs.
Scuzz was given a new look and revamp on April 1st 2006. Replacing the old black and white look to song titles and the logo, the channel now utilizes a blue, smokey look. After the revamp, the channel has begun to air more special, dedicated shows, such as a live performance from metal group Trivium, and more recently, a weekend devoted to Swedish Melodic Death Metal band In Flames. The channel also runs weekly competitions, giving viewers the chance to win band merchandice, signed guitars and such things. Scuzz also shows many exclusive music videos for the first time, most recently Fall Out Boy's "Thnx Fr Th Mmrs".
