Edge TV

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For the defunct television station in Albany, New York known as Edge TV, see WEDG-TV.

Edge TV is a now defunct Canadian category 2 digital cable specialty channel dedicated to rock and alternative music owned by Corus Entertainment. The channel was inspired by Corus' own Toronto, Ontario radio station 102.1 The Edge.

Edge TV featured music videos, interviews, and more related to its music genre. The channel launched on September 7, 2001 and was discontinued on July 15, 2003. Corus Entertainment released a press release saying the reasons for discontinuing the service was challenges of obtaining sufficient cable and satellite carriage for the channel. On the same day of the announcement, Corus announced that it would partner its two rock and alternative radio stations, 102.1 The Edge and Vancouver's 99.3 The Fox, with CHUM Limited's similar music video service MuchLOUD.
