MuchLOUD is a Canadian English language category 2 digital cable specialty channel. The channel features rock, modern rock, alternative, punk, metal and similar musical genres mainly in the form of music videos with other programming including concerts, interviews and more. The channel is fashioned after the MuchMusic original program, Loud, though the majority of MuchLOUD videos are more commercial and accessible for the most part.

MuchLOUD was licensed by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) in November 2000 and was launched on September 7, 2001 under the ownership of CHUM Limited. On June 22, 2007, CTVgm gained control of MuchLOUD as a result of a takeover of CHUM Limited.
