New York Noise

New York Noise is a one-hour indie-rock music video television program which aired from 20032009 on NYC Media in New York and parts of New Jersey and Connecticut. It was created, produced, and edited by Shirley Braha [1][2] and funded by New York City under the Bloomberg administration. The show was "devoted to music videos, live footage, and high jinx from bands that ride the L train."[3] According to The New York Times, it is "a groundbreaking show that has attracted a loyal following among musicians [4] It is no longer in production since the station's rebranding in 2010,[5] despite a petition and campaign which attempted to save it.[6]

Development

Shirley Braha, a New York native, first developed "New York Noise" in 2003 while working on her bachelor's degree at Smith College.[7] NYC Media General Manager Arick Wierson offered Braha a show in part because of her local cred and experience." [8] The show began airing in fall of 2003, and by the end of 2004, after NYC Media acquired channel 25 and Braha had graduated, the episodes began featuring original segments[8]
