JBTV is…
Chicago’s longest running music television show. For the past 25 years, they have been providing us with interviews and performances from national acts, such as Green Day, Ben Folds Five, Silversun Pickups, Against Me!, & Foxy Shazam, as well as our local favorites, like Fall Out Boy, Gold Motel, AM Taxi, Treaty of Paris, & The Frantic. Though JBTV’s an independent television station, it’s not shot in a shoddy location like Wayne Campbell’s basement. The bands perform on a state of the art HD sound stage, and are filmed with the latest video and recording equipment by a qualified crew.
Tune into JBTV on Wednesday nights at 11PM CST on WJYS-62 (or check your carrier’s local listings). You can also watch it online at www.jbtvonline.com and/or download video podcasts of the episodes for FREE on iTunes.
