Channel 6
Television was particularly active in the music industry in the
80's and 90's, at a time when there were few production facilities
- especially in Jutland. At the time, Aarhus was still
Århus - and it was the booming centre of new Danish rock with
many local bands and solo artists who were fostered in the local
studios and venues and many of whom remain at the top of the
industry in Denmark.
For many
years, Channel 6 Television was one of the Danish production
companies whose studios, crew and production style attracted many
performers. In the same period, we operated one of Denmark's first
independent OB vehicles, covering music concerts and light
entertainment shows for local and national tv-stations. At home in
our studios we also produced many memorable music broadcasts. Our
archives from this period continue to provide great footage for
Danish music productions. Who can forget the 1985 Afrika music
video, which we produced at Feedback studios in Aarhus in that
memorable weekend in 1985? Or the once-in-a-lifetime OB production
with Tower of Power in 1986? Or the early days of Danmarks
Smukkeste Festival? The list goes on...
There are
fewer commercial opportunities for music production today, so our
focus has shifted from developing individual music productions to
integrating music and performance into many of our other films
where we have the occasional opportunity of working with great
artists and musicians. But for the established artist or newcomer
band that has a yearning for an old-school video, we're still here
and we're still keen!
