Galaxie
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Galaxie is a Canadian English and French language digital broadcasting or digital television radio service, which offers 45 commercial-free music channels, each devoted to a particular genre of music, using no live, on-air disc jockeys. It is distributed with digital cable or direct broadcast satellite services such as Rogers Digital Cable, Bell ExpressVu and StarChoice and launched in 1997.
Galaxie is owned and operated by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation-Radio-Canada.
Because of service duplication, MaxTrax (another music provider) and Galaxie agreed in 2002 to provide a joint 40-channel audio distribution service to satellite and digital cable television providers. This service is known as the "Max Trax Galaxie Package".
Galaxie services have also sometimes aired on CBC Radio One and CBC Radio Two as substitute programming in situations such as the 2005 Canadian Media Guild labour dispute.
Galaxie also sponsors an annual Songs from the Heart competition for new and emerging songwriters. The Colleen Peterson Songwriting Award is presented to the winner of the competition.
