The NewMusic

The NewMusic was a weekly music and culture television newsmagazine that aired on the Canadian television stations owned by CHUM Limited - MuchMusic, MuchMoreMusic, Citytv and CP24. Created by John Martin as a bridge between the spirits of Rolling Stone and New Musical Express and the formatics of a television newsmagazine, The NewMusic presented current popular music in a broad social, political and economic context. It won an Iris Award in 1984. The series was cancelled in 2008 amid the ownership changes such as the CHUM Limited properties were sold to CTVglobemedia a year prior in 2007 whilst the Citytv stations were acquired by Rogers Media the same year. Following its cancellation, the brand has been resurrected as a blog that features news items, concert reviews and exclusive pictures.
