Austin Music Network

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Austin Music Network (AMN), was an Austin, Texas non-profit independent music television channel. The station began broadcasting April 1, 1994, ending on September 1, 2005.

[edit] Programming

Programming on the channel was reminiscent of early MTV programming and similar to a music radio format. It mostly took the form of music videos or prerecorded live sessions played continuously, often interspersed with presenters talking to a fixed camera for a short time. Presenters often produced their own shows and encouraged viewers to email requests to them at an address displayed on-screen. AMN also broadcast reruns of Austin City Limits recordings and documentaries about various characters of the Central Texas music scene. Although all musical tastes were catered for, an emphasis was placed on broadcasting non-mainstream music. Particular emphasis was placed on indie, punk, blues, country and jazz.
