Stingray and l’Association québécoise de l’industrie du disque, du spectacle et de la vidéo (ADISQ) today announced the launch of PalmarèsADISQ par Stingray, a unique specialty music video TV channel primarily dedicated to French-language Quebec and Canadian music videos. PalmarèsADISQ par Stingray was already added to Videotron’s channel offering and will be available soon to Bell Fibe TV, TELUS, and Cogeco subscribers.
PalmarèsADISQ par Stingray was born out of Stingray and ADISQ’s shared mission to promote and showcase the Quebec and Canadian music industry, help develop the careers of local artists, and provide audiences with access to a diversity of homegrown talent.
Although PalmarèsADISQ par Stingray’s programming mainly spotlights Francophone music from Quebec, the province’s Anglophone artists and French-language artists from across the country, and the world are also showcased. The channel was created to delight both fans of musical discoveries and nostalgia buffs. PalmarèsADISQ par Stingray presents a curated all-day programming, themed blocks, exclusive countdowns, and best-of lists.
Programmed by Stingray’s team of in-house curators with the support of ADISQ experts, PalmarèsADISQ par Stingray will be broadcast 24/7 and present all the local music videos that fans can never get enough of; from today’s chart-busting stars to tomorrow’s most exciting newcomers and yesterday’s icons.
Pursuant to Stingray’s desire to invest in young talent, a portion of the profits generated by PalmarèsADISQ par Stingray will be reinvested in local music video production through existing third-party funds. Through this initiative, Stingray will finance the production of music videos broadcast on its channels and help develop the career of up-and-coming Quebec and Canadian directors.
Stingray will share more information about this initiative in the coming months.
