Classic FM TV!

January 2nd, 2003

Yesterday i stumbled on Classic FM TV on Sky Digital channel 464. This insane concept from the UKs only commercial classical radio station sees the channel adopt the format of other channels like The Box, VH1 and Smash Hits. It wont be playing concerts, instead it will broadcast videos by the likes of Bing Crosby, Bobby McFerrin, Andrea Bocelli, Bond, Opera Babes, Vanessa Mae, Vangelis and William Orbit. Just who their target audience is, I’m not entirely sure…

Meanwhile, dedicated comedy and music channel UKPlay remains off air – weird. Not to worry as BBC Radio 7 is live!

    love the station but am trying to find a title/artists for a rendition of kumbuya sung by a group of women.I keep missing the start,last time I watched was approx 3.30am sun 30th march 03
    can anyone help?

    Could we have a little more variety please. there are some fine pieces but the Opera babes can get a bit tiring – especially at my age! There must be other videos they could use, too many repeats, we are slowly dying of boredom and switching elsewhere to be entertained.
    Another important improvement would be to put the artist and title on again at the end as we often miss the first bit. This would enable us to note down the name & tune and go out and buy it – or find it on the net?

    i think the station is great but if ntl are reading this can you please do something about the crackling. i also think some other film classics should be added like water world theme and deap impact are great songs.

    Could anyone help with details on how to buy the CD featuring “Souvenir of Zbiroh” by Gabriela Dementeova? Can’t get any info from the web site. Please e-mail me. Thanks!

    Target audience? definitely not the purists. It’s a good alternative to MTV though. It’s always a pleasure to watch violinist Linda Brava and the sexy pianist Myleene Klass

    Yeah Myleene is soooo sexy.

    TOCCATA Rocks!!!!!

    I love the video

    The portishead song is called “Glory Box”. Does anyone know the name of the Andrea Bocelli song that is often on – not “Time To Say Goodbye” – the other one!

    Classic fm tv has some great songs to watch and listen to, but I think there are too many boring film themes. Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Gladiator….its not music for listening to, it belongs in the cinema. Where can you get that Classic fm tv CD that has been advertised recently? Its got all the good tunes on it.
