Music television, back in the room.

A station you can settle into.

Backbeat.TV brings music videos into a familiar retro television, with daily listening-room backgrounds and a music-first approach. The library includes 213 music videos across eight channels, plus six original 12-video sets and nostalgia breaks.

How does the 24/7 station work?

A shared schedule runs continuously, even when nobody has the page open. When you tune in, the player joins the current scheduled video. The rotation repeats; it is not a live concert feed or a licensed linear television broadcast. You can rejoin the current point or switch to a personal channel at any time.

What can I watch?

Explore ’80s pop, ’90s alternative and grunge, classic rock, metal, old-school hip-hop, new wave, pop, and music from the turn of the millennium. Original sets include Friday Night Metal, After School ’94, Midnight Alternative, The House Party, Neon Night Drive, and The ’90s Rock Block.
