Sky have set a launch day for their three new music channels. Flaunt, Scuzz and The Amp, which, as previously reported, have already begun test transmissions, will officially launch at 2pm on 17 Apr. They will broadcast on channels 469, 471 and 473 on the Sky programme guide, putting them at the back of the system's music section – the gaps between channels suggesting some sort of spin off channels are in the pipeline. Sky's head of music, Lester Mordue, who has been tight lipped on the channels, implied the formats would be akin to EMAP's jukebox channel but with more remote control interactivity – he told reporters yesterday: "These channels will push the boundaries of music TV by allowing viewers to vote with their remote control for the next video to be played."
