Not Quite Channel U

There's a new TV show, on Sky Digital channel 168 (Information TV) at 10:30pm every night, called U Show where musicians can pay to get National TV airtime. For £50 bands can get their music videos on the air (maximum 4 minutes) three times, on three separate days. The details are on Theushow.tv, but you basically just have to register, pay online, and send your video in and you'll be told when you're on. Apparently Camera Obscura, Tokyo Police Club, Victorian English Gentlemens Club, Husky Rescue, The Low Lows, LR Rockets and Lupen Crook have all been on it.
Sounds all right if you're in a band and you've got fifty quid I suppose - might be good to watch anyway.
