About this deal

In July 2018, around the same time as the UKTV network of channels was being removed from Virgin Media, the cable platform added NOW 80s as a discrete channel adjacent to Clubland TV on the guide; for some time previously, NOW 80s and other AATW channels had been available to Virgin TiVo boxes as internet-streamed services accessed behind the red button via Clubland.

Bates has continued to present his old radio feature The Golden Hour as a programme on Now 80s, [14] with some episodes billed as Simon Bates' New Golden Hour and others appearing on Now 70s.NOW 80s is a British free-to-air music television channel, focusing exclusively on playing music from the 1980s. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Post-Punk New Wave exploded on to the charts, and The Associates, The Jam, Echo And The Bunnymen, Pretenders, and Siouxsie’s side project The Creatures are all included.

NOW Music proudly presents NOW – 80s Alternative: 80 tracks across 4 CDs encapsulating the era and celebrating an incredibly diverse decade for ‘Alternative’ music.Products labelled '*item fulfilled by Exertis on behalf of hmv' will be supplied to you directly by Exertis via their approved couriers. The epic 'This Corrosion' from Sisters Of Mercy starts CD3 in grandiose style - and is followed with atmospheric masterpieces from Siouxsie And The Banshees, Bauhaus, The Cure and a second appearance from Joy Division - before some late '80s Alternative essentials, including Bjork's band The Sugarcubes, Act, The Mission, All About Eve, The Cult's 'Edie (Ciao Baby)', 'This Is England' from The Clash, and The Fall's version of 'There's A Ghost In My House', before closing with two more great examples of U. Following the success of NOW 80s, sister channel Chilled TV was retooled as 1990s music station Chilled 90s from March 2017; this channel was then used for NOW Christmas in 2017 (allowing the Christmas format and the 80s station to run simultaneously), before fully rebranded as NOW 90s from 27 December 2017. NOW 80s Alternative is available as an 80-track 4CD set or as a 30-song 2LP pink coloured vinyl offering and even though these kinds of compilations are fairly common these days, this one looks pretty good! From 20 November to 26 December 2018, NOW 80s was rebranded temporarily as NOW Christmas, and was repeated again in 2019 while NOW 80s moved to the slot formerly used by Total Country, [1] and a similar change happened in 2020 with NOW 80s moving to the slot usually used by NOW 90s.

It was initially thought this would be temporary, and that the previous NOW Music would resume in early 2017, but the success of the 1980s format saw this retained indefinitely. The epic ‘This Corrosion’ from Sisters Of Mercy starts CD3 in grandiose style – and is followed with atmospheric masterpieces from Siouxsie And The Banshees, Bauhaus, The Cure and a second appearance from Joy Division – before some late-80s Alternative essentials, including Bjork’s band The Sugarcubes, Act, The Mission, All About Eve, The Cult’s ‘Edie (Ciao Baby)’, ‘This Is England’ from The Clash, and The Fall’s version of ‘There’s A Ghost In My House’, before closing with two more great examples of U.

NOW - 80s Alternative' - A celebration of a different view of the decade's charts - the lesser-compiled 1980's singles. The 12” single was a dynamic and increasingly essential part of the release schedule as the decade progressed.As Now 80s became a channel which only viewers in Manchester could get on Freeview during this time, AATW decided to simulcast the repeats of Fame on their Now Christmas channel so viewers nationwide could follow the series. The channel has also created a number of programmes to tie-in with the release of the Now Yearbook series of 4-CD and 3-LP vinyl sets. Big Audio Dynamite, Julian Cope and XTC are also included before the collection draws to a close with Latin Quarter’s ‘Radio Africa’ – and Scritti Politti’s 1981 single ‘The “Sweetest Girl”’.
