Retro Jams was a music video network that played music videos from the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, and early 1990s, with the vast majority of clips used in the public domain to reduce and avoid performance and rights fees. Established in 2007, it was owned and operated by now-defunct Equity Media Holdings. Retro Jams was formerly carried full-time as a free-to-air TV channel on various Equity-owned terrestrial low-power television stations nationwide. Blocks of programming on sister network Retro Television Network also featured Retro Jams, either with videos pre-programmed or requested live by viewers.
