Music
Sub.tv is an always-on, interactive entertainment channel reaching 32% of 18-24 year olds in the UK. Sub.tv broadcasts music and other entertainment content across university campuses on screens and also allows students to interact on our great new website subtvmusic.com. The music department have been creating bespoke live sessions content to UK unsigned music tours for the past several years, a selection of our offerings are below.
Sessions
Sub.tv have been producing sessions for artists for over 3 years working with media partners such as 3 mobile and artists including Laura Marling, We Are Scientists, and The Holloways amongst others. SubSessions are recorded in a professional television studio in London providing high quality broadcast and audio recordings. SubSessions will be aired on 700 screens across 140 student venues. The sessions will initially be played 3 times a day for 2 weeks. This high rotation coupled with the potential audience of 1.75 million students means a huge amount of exposure for the artist and your brand.

Student Radio Chart
The Student Radio Chart is collated from the returns of 20 student radio stations across the UK. The weekly chart show is syndicated across these stations with a different station and DJ's hosting the show each week. With links from the weekly host of the show and music videos from the featured acts this hour-long show provides a wonderful opportunity to associate with great new music as chosen by our 18-24 year old audience

Playlists
Sub.tv music editorial policy means that we only broadcast the very best music, from classics to the freshest new tracks. Sub.tv also packages music together in exciting playlists, ranging from Brit pop, classic hip hop, to rock. We recently created a playlist for the Guitar Hero III video game with Aerosmith to Guns n Roses. There are countless opportunities here as we can source any video selection to suit client needs. We can drive awareness of a brand via the sidebar and select videos in line with brand values or imagery (eg black and white Guinness music videos or active dance floor tracks for Red Bull).
Unsigned Music Tour
Sub.tv can run an extended campaign to search for new musical talent up and down the country. We will have a big online base offering good brand association with fresh talent as well as major screen activity; this will also host the branded video content which we will produce. There is a substantial live element with a launch party, a university tour and a smaller tour of larger, higher profile venues culminating with a live final with a major signed act. There are a number of bespoke services that can be added to the competition for brands looking to focus on digital or experiential. We can make a programme charting the progress of bands or offer unique one-to one development sessions with top music industry people. There is also the opportunity to showcase product at the live events as well as general branded merchandise.
