Channel U (later known as Channel AKA) was a British digital satellite TV music channel founded by Darren Platt that focused on the British grime music scene which ran from February 2003 to June 2018.
Channel U was a popular channel, not only for musicians who are already known, but also for those who were just starting out, helping them gain fans. It helped artists such as Tinchy Stryder, Tinie Tempah, Dizzee Rascal, Chip, Wretch 32, Devlin, and N-Dubz. It made several compilation CDs such as Channel U: The Album.[1]
Channel U was replaced by Massive R&B on 1 June 2018. Massive R&B then rebranded to Total Country on 1 November 2018 before finally becoming Now 70s on 27 December 2019.
