Rockworld TV was a British television channel which featured rock music, and was aimed to highlight "underground" lifestyles and artists.
It broadcast on Sky Digital ch. 378, and also streamed content online. Officially it was only on the air from 6pm until the early morning, although previews ran during the rest of the day (apart from a few hours of Teleshopping programmes), making Rockworld effectively a 24-hour channel.
Rockworld broadcast a large number of recorded concerts by metal and goth artists such as Machine Head, Nightwish, Killing Joke, Electric Eel Shock and Pitchshifter, and also broadcasts interviews with bands. Some music programmes were filmed at rock festivals such as the Bulldog Bash.
Non-music programmes included the anime series Cromartie High School and Gilgamesh, Dave Vanian's Dark Screen (an amateur horror film showcase) and Peek-A-Boo, interviews with artists and fetish models. Presenters included Jane Gazzo and Lenore.
Rockworld TV replaced Redemption TV, which broadcast during the evening/late night on the now-defunct Musicians Channel (also ch. 368) in 2005. Any websites linking to Redemption TV (which previously had a sizeable website) now redirect to rockworld.tv.
