SCUZZ

'Scuzz' is a British music television channel owned and operated by Chart Show Channels. It launched in 2003 and has been advertised as Total Rock. The channel plays a wide range of modern and classic rock and metal music ranging from Emo to black metal.
It particularly specializes in the hardcore and metalcore genres. Scuzz tends to play slightly more underground music videos than the other British rock channel Kerrang, although they do share quite a few songs. Scuzz also shows many exclusive music videos for the first time, most recently Trivium's "The Rising".
The channel also runs weekly competitions, giving viewers the chance to win band merchandise, signed guitars and such things.
The Scuzz logo is on screen in the bottom left-hand corner during music videos and the song information is shown surrounded by blue and white coloured flame effects at the start and near the end of each music video. The channels' identity is also seen before and after advert breaks when the Scuzz logo is in the center of the screen.
Scuzz is available 24 hours a day on Sky Digital channel 364 and Virgin Media channel 347 and is part of a boquet of music channels owned by Chart Show Channels, including Bliss, Flaunt, Chart Show TV, The Vault, and B4.

Scuzz Revamp

Scuzz was given a new look and revamp on 1 April 2006. Replacing the old black and white logo and song titles to a blue, smokey look. After the revamp the channel has begun to air more special, dedicated shows, such as a live performance from the metal group Trivium, and more recently, a weekend devoted to Swedish Melodic Death Metal band In Flames.
