I remember years ago during the 90’s, there was a local music TV show called, “Sounding Board” that used to air on WMHT years back. It was a pretty popular TV show that lasted for quite a long time and I remember watching it every week. I remember the show used to be hosted by music writer, J. Eric Smith and Amy Abdou.
Then in early 2006, local music TV briefly made a return. A TV show called, “Groovin On” by Billy Leroux, which I actually performed on once, (the video is in my youtube channel). Billy quit doing that show, which lasted for about a year or so.
I remember, Glens Falls had their own TV show with “8 Trax” by Bob Smith, that featured local bands.
Then there was Ralph’s “Capital Underground” show, but that only lasted for several episodes, I believe.
Today? There’s no local music TV anymore. It needs to make a return!!! A TV show where local bands and acoustic acts can get on to perform. I do miss local music TV though. It’s great publicity for bands & artists around here.
I wish somebody out there would set something up.
I could set up a TV show myself, but I don’t have a place for bands to play or a soundguy to do all that stuff with. So I’ll let somebody else do the work. It would be nice if local music TV made a return though.
Not so I can get on there and perform myself, I want local music TV to return ’cause I support local music and a fan of unsigned music. I just like seeing unsigned acts performing on TV. It’s a pretty cool thing.
