Must Be The Music is the new music talent show airing on BSkyB’s Sky One channel in the United Kingdom. It’s quite different from X-Factor or American Idol, principally because it appears to feature people and groups with talent, rather than a parade of idiot wannabes. Now that BBC’s Sherlock has finished, it’s one of [...]
I popped into Channel4′s studio on Friday evening to meet with Benjamin Cohen, their technology guru.
