On Tuesday (Sept. 16), Billboard and Samsung TV Plus announced the launch of BillboardTV — a 24/7 streaming destination for music culture and news.
The exclusive channel will feature nonstop updates from Billboard News, never-before-seen interviews, red-carpet coverage and live concert specials.
“Billboard has always been at the center of music culture, capturing the moments that shape the industry and the artists who define generations,” said Mike Van, CEO of Billboard. “With BillboardTV, we’re taking that mission even further — bringing our storytelling, our events, and our unparalleled access directly to fans’ living rooms. Partnering with Samsung TV Plus allows us to build a channel that’s as dynamic and always-on as music itself, creating a destination where fans can experience the energy, creativity, and passion that only Billboard can deliver.”
BillboardTV will include the television premiere of Billboard News episodes, Billboard Live concerts available only on Samsung TV Plus, exclusive interviews with music’s biggest stars, red-carpet event coverage from the industry’s most-talked-about nights, and top music stories, trends, and insider insights curated by Billboard‘s award-winning editorial team.
The first major BillboardTV livestream of the fall will be an extended edition of Billboard Unfiltered, with top artists and creators unveiling and debating the 2025 year-end No. 1 songs across several key Billboard charts, including the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart and Billboard 200 albums chart.
“With BillboardTV, we’re advancing our vision of Samsung TV Plus as a home for live exclusive content and cultural experiences,” said Salek Brodsky, SVP & Global Head of Samsung TV Plus. “This new channel brings the full weight of Billboard’s influence into our ecosystem, giving fans direct access to the moments that matter, and is a powerful step in expanding our leadership as the go-to destination for premium entertainment.”
BillboardTV will be exclusive to Samsung TV Plus, which is available on Samsung TV, Galaxy, Smart Monitor and Family Hub devices. Samsung TV Plus recently made headlines as the exclusive livestream destination of Fifth Harmony’s surprise reunion at the Jonas Brothers’ JONAS20: Greetings from Your Hometown tour stop in Dallas on Aug. 31.
