The vast vault of MuchMusic content is open.

As of yesterday, the beloved music video channel has started uploading rare interviews and other classic programming to a new YouTube channel, aptly-titled Much Rewind.


It's been years since the Bell Media-owned channel has aired original music content on TV, with the "Much" channel focusing more on programming from Comedy Central. The platform relaunched as a “digital first network” in collaboration with TikTok in 2021, focusing on "creator-driven content" with new VJs making content for social media and YouTube.

But the Much vaults hold a treasure trove of music history that rarely sees the light of day, including plenty of exclusive interviews dating back to the 1980s. Now, they will finally have a new home.

According to the channel’s description, Much Rewind will feature “full interviews and a nostalgic deep dive into the 80s, 90s and 2000s music culture."

Currently, the channel has four uploads, featuring pop powerhouse Christina Aguilera, rapper Eminem, late R&B icon Aaliyah and rocker Noel Gallagher of Oasis — the latter of whom will be taking the stage in August at Rogers Stadium.

Following the channel announcement on TikTok, users quickly went to the comments with their requests.

"Can you put old shows on there or clips? I LOVED Video on Trial 🤣,” one user wrote.

Another commented: “Muchmusic countdown 🙏🏾.”

One user is hoping for “Any Weird Al takeover!”

William Shatner To Go Where He’s Never Gone Before on Heavy Metal Album Featuring Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden Covers

The 94-year-old TV icon teased that the untitled LP will feature 35 "metal virtuosos."

Forget about second acts in American life, TV legend William Shatner is up to his fourth, maybe 10th act at this point. The 94-year-old actor best known for playing the irascible James T. Kirk on the original Star Trek series and movies, as well as police sergeant T.J. Hooker in the 1980s is boldly going where even he hasn’t gone before.

In an Instagram post on Thursday (Feb. 19), the mutli-hyphenate performer who made his musical debut in 1968 with the beyond bizarre The Transformed Man LP featuring his florid readings of The Beatles’ “Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds” and Elton John’s “Rocket Man,” announced that he’s prepping his first heavy metal album at an age where metal typically goes into your body rather than comes out.
