Musician Forum - Band Discussion Board - BandMix

Biker TV and Trucker Television are starting new seasons and need your Canadian music for the shows.

Both shows are aired nationally on CHCH and can be great exposure for emerging artists.

You will be paid SOCAN Fees by SOCAN if you are registered with them for any music we use in the shows.

To submit your music for consideration please send a HARD COPY CD to, P.O. Box 15, Princeton Ontario, N0J 1V0.

Digital transfers will never be accepted under any circumstance!

Check out our websites bikertv.ca and truckertelevision.com for all of our episodes.

HA! SOCAN fees - so you want to use people's music for free (yeah, your show or network has to pay the licensing) so they can reap the pennies of royalties? And in turn, they get what - a little credit at the end of the show (when people have already flipped the channel anyway)? In the USA, artists get paid up front (usually decent money) for use of their songs in television shows.

Everyones doing the hustle these days. Even the "New member" trying to sell picks and strings yesterday, while faking sincerity about joining the forum. How cheesy is that? I think the moderators missed that one. Spammers are posting more than members these days.

So which is it, biker or trucker? They're two different genres, I believe.

so many desperate people in a world in which, America's wealth has evaporated into thin air a watery vapor, and then rained down upon Chinese music under banyan tree there at the dude ranch above the vail.. Aja ...hmmm.. yuk yuk

We do two shows, Biker TV and Trucker Television.
They both air nationally on CTV 2 and CHCH.

We are a small grass roots Canadian production company that works on a small budget and makes a living off telling stories.

We have been giving local bands the option to send us their music for consideration to be played on the shows for 10 years now, some of who would never have the chance otherwise.

I would think getting your music exposed on national television could only help you if people like it.
