'PIX squeezes The Tube into its digital format
A new music video channel hits the digital airwaves today.
The network, called The Tube, is being launched locally on WPIX/Ch. 11's digital signal, which is free to people with digital televisions capable of getting Ch. 11.2.
Digital technology allows local stations to broadcast a second signal, thus the 11.2 designation.
Eventually, the 24-hour network will be rolled out to cable systems throughout the New York area.
Billed as the only 24-hour all-music channel, The Tube is being headed up by Les Garland, one of the original staffers at the start of MTV and VH1.
"The Tube distinguishes itself by offering top music programming, and our partnership affirms our commitment to providing the highest quality entertainment and enhanced content for our audience," Ch. 11 general manager Betty Ellen Berlamino said in a statement.
