Kerrang! TV is a digital television station owned by EMAP, which is loosely connected to the EMAP owned magazine, Kerrang!. As of 2005, all of its programme content is music videos, the majority of which is open scheduled, for text requests from their playlist.
The TV daft television The station unusually guarantees to play a requested video, unlike others where a voting system is in place. However, it may take some time for the video to be played.
It shares much of the ethos of its namesake magazine, although it will not go as far as to play unsigned acts or veer too far off music which is accepted by the mainsteam, as its 0.1% share of the overall viewership actually amounts to a very high share of the music television market.
One of the most notable features of the network are its adbreak endboards, which usually consist of normal video that has been heavily edited - such as cow heads grafted onto a dancing couple - or are cartoons in the style of the infamous Protect and Survive films with a surreal twist.
The station has an annual video countdown called the Rock 100, which covers the 100 most requested videos on the station (Rock or otherwise) in the previous year, and with links between blocks of tracks given by one of the featured bands. In 2005, Good Charlotte presented the Rock 100 from a strip club in Manchester.
