Sky's three new music channels -- Flaunt, Scuzz and The Amp -- will launch next week, it has been confirmed this evening.
The stations, which began preliminary testing on Tuesday, will commence broadcast at 2pm on April 17, the day before Easter weekend begins. Flaunt will launch on EPG 469, whilst Scuzz will occupy channel 471 and The Amp will be on 473.
Lester Mordue, head of music at Sky, said: "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."
Rapper Ms Dynamite headlined the press launch of the channels at a gig in London's Sketch club earlier this evening.
