Satellite Media Launches BalconyTV Auckland

Satellite Media is proud to announce the launch of BalconyTV Auckland today. The launch comes just a week after BalconyTV announced its 10 Millionth video view.

BalconyTV – Music with a view; is an online music show featuring live music performances from artists in Dublin, Hamburg, London, Poznan, Nashville and now Auckland, New Zealand. By performing on a Balcony on Auckland’s Ponsonby Road – local performances can now be viewed all over the world.

Hosted by Phil Bell (aka Sirvere) BalconyTV Auckland will kick off with a performance by South Auckland’s finest Young Sid. Young Sid performed freestyle on our debut show, and calls it as he sees it explaining the inspiration for his solo material comes from his experiences over the past 2 years “police profiling, media scrutiny, death, youth and the ups and downs, living life”.

We’ll be following that up with performances by Bradley Carter/Pistol Youth, Jocee Tuck, Nathan King, The Drab Doo Riffs, Teacups, Connan Mockasin, I am Giant and Anna Coddington.

BalconyTV was founded in June 2006 by 3 Dublin Flatmates. Satellite Media is delighted to bring BalconyTV to Auckland, New Zealand. Satellite Media’s General Manager Nikki Streater said ‘we’re really excited to be launching BalconyTV in Auckland, it brings together all of things that we do best. We see this as a great opportunity for artists to perform live and get the performances out to a wide audience’.

BalconyTV is sponsored by Smokefree and we’d like to acknowledge the support of Chapel Bar & Bistro in Ponsonby Road.
