The channel formerly known as HDNet, whose slogan is "Music is Back on TV" (although the lineup also includes sports, standup and "Dan Rather Reports"--and Viacom would like to bring up Palladia and those MTV and VH1 flanker channels that are still predominately music videos and MSG would argue about Fuse), will start a third season of "The World's Greatest Tribute Bands" on Jan. 6--the full lineup of bands, which expands beyond classic rock standbys this season, is listed in the link:

(which includes Ryan Seacrest in a minority position) for letting Rather stay on in the rebranding--his magazine show is a very solid piece of television journalism, which can't be said very often these days. -- -- TV or Not TV ....
