Since we have the intimate part down…

Thanks to Coronavirus we’re all in self-isolation, and so begins a mad scramble for content. And since all our favourite TV shows, web series and podcasts are ALSO on lockdown, now is a good time to dig deep. Here then – before the torrent of content that will follow – is a very brief history of MuchMusic’s Intimate & Interactive.

MuchMusic Intimate & Interactive started in 1991 as an ongoing series of televised live concerts held in MUCH’s tiny Toronto studio. Artists were surrounded by die-hard fans who got to ask them any old question on their minds between songs.

Watch Cancon’s heyday unfold with Barenaked Ladies, the Tea Party, or the Tragically Hip; relive the splendour and majesty of alt-rock with full concerts from Foo Fighters or No Doubt; watch pop icons like the Spice Girls and the Backstreet Boys perform in a place the size of a Starbucks. Now begins the content dump. Keep safe guys.
