Channels

Metal TV runs seven channels, all live around the clock: the main Metal TV channel with everything in rotation, plus dedicated Black, Death, Doom, Thrash, Core and Progressive channels.

Changing channel

1. Use the channel bar under the player: drag it, use the arrows, and click a channel card. Each card shows what is playing there right now.
2. Or press Channels in the player bar for the full list.
3. In fullscreen, the channel switcher sits in the bottom-right corner.

Switching is instant and seamless: the sound stays on, and the Up Next and History panels follow the channel you are watching. Each channel also has its own address (for example metaltv.live/black), so you can bookmark or share your channel and it starts pre-tuned.

Where a band plays

Every band carries up to four genre families (chosen by the band on its own page), and those families decide which channels it plays on. A blend plays everywhere it belongs: Blackened Death plays on both Black and Death, and everything plays on the main channel.

Requests follow the channel

A song request is made on the channel you are watching, and the picker only shows songs that play there. The requested song airs on that channel and on the main Metal TV channel.

Chat is one room

The live chat is shared across every channel, and each message shows which channel the poster is watching. Click the channel name on a friend's message to tune to their channel and watch together.
