Fabchannel was founded by Paradiso in 1999. At that time media like radio, tv and newspapers were hardly paying any attention to alternative pop music. With the rise of the internet Paradiso saw a chance to take matters into its own hands. The idea was born to start an online concert channel. With confidence in the idea and with the help of a group of committed volunteers with a passion for music and technology Fabchannel grew out to become the winner of many awards, among which the 2006 Webby Award for ‘best music website of the world’. Besides broadcaster, Fabchannel is producer, promoter and developer. This makes Fabchannel one of the first of a new breed of media companies, in which content, technology and marketing come together. All this knowledge combined in one small organisation makes Fabchannel unique and enables it to adapt very quickly to developments in this fast moving industry. |
