Soundcity TV is a popular TV station and showcases music videos, live performances, news and interviews with popular acts in addition to organizing, supporting and airing regional and international concerts. Latest music videos from the United States, England, and the rest of the world cutting across all genres are aired on the Channel. Sister brands include Soundcity Music Video Awards, Soundcity Urban Blast Festival, Buddie, Soundcity Radio Network, and Soundcity Digital. SoundcityTV began as a 30 minutes long syndicated TV show before it was launched on DStv in 2009 with recognizable Nigerian musical acts like 2face Idibia and D’banj receiving much airplay as far east as Kenya and Congo, and as far south as Zimbabwe and South Africa which in turn have their musical acts like Fally Ipupa and Freshly Ground popularized in Nigeria. Soundcity plays a powerful part in this cultural exchange.
