It was launched on aux.tv, a Canadian music website, and BiteTV, a digital cable channel, in March 2009 and currently airs on both. The show aims to provide viewers with a behind-the-scenes look at how records are produced while profiling new and emerging artists.

Originally airing a preview of its first five episode on Bite TV, it now airs on Aux TV. The channel was launched on October 1, 2009 exclusively on Rogers Cable, with plans to launch on other providers in the future.
