JBTV is a nationally broadcast, weekly 60-minute music television show featuring live in-studio performances, music videos, and music-related interviews from emerging and established musicians. Based in Chicago, Illinois, JBTV has over its 27 year history helped hundreds of regional artists reach a wider audience, as well as given exposure to more alternative national and international artists. It was created and hosted by Jerry Bryant in 1984, who today remains a vital aspect in the production and post-production of the show's recent reformatting. As of the show's 27th Season, Jerry Bryant and Ryan Manno are the show's main hosts, co-hosted by Jenna Martinelli, Brendan Kelly, Nicole Marsel, Jamal Neff, Tanner Rittenhouse, and Tobias Jeg.
The show is broadcast nationally on NBC's 'Nonstop' channel Saturday nights at 10pm and also posts all of its aired content on its website, JBTV Online (as well as exclusive, live streams of in-studio performances and behind-the-scenes footage showcasing visiting bands and the show's production team).
Format
Original Format (1984–2012)
In its original format a band or solo performer would visit the JBTV studio for an interview with owner and host Jerry Bryant, selecting a number of music videos (both the artist's and their own favorite videos) that would be shown in the aired episode. JBTV is currently on broadcast television WJYS-62 in Chicago Wednesday nights at 11pm with New Music Videos and live JBTV performances. JBTV is currently hosting live in-studio performances with new artists and extablished bands. In 2012, JBTV will be adding more new hosts and lots of new bands for all of the world to see. After 27 years, JBTV is still the only program where free-form TV is alive and well without corporate control. JBTV is an all-volunteer television program.
