When MTV first came out in the early ’80s, it was the greatest thing going. But over the years, they stopped showing videos and the music seemed to die. Until recently, it was difficult to find actual music on television.
Palladia, however has changed that. I was recently watching O.A.R.: Live at Madison Square Garden (Go Bucks!) on the HD Channel. Broadcast in vivid 1080i with tremendous sound, Palladia has made music television fun again. I felt like I was singing along to “Shattered” with the rest of the audience. Palladia broadcasts plenty of videos, but the concerts are what make the channel a true experience.
They use programming from MTV, VH1 and CMT, but from my experience, it has been completely music centered. I have yet to see a reality show or an hour devoted to 1973 fads. Obviously, this could change at anytime — it is owned by MTV, after all. Until then, I’m enjoying the ride.
I may check out Foo Fighters: Live at Wembley this week.
