Mezzo’s channels
Since 1996, MEZZO has become the international reference for classical music, jazz and dance on television. Now broadcast in more than 60 countries with a community of 28 million subscribers, MEZZO has become indispensable for the most discerning of music lovers while providing a source of discovery accessible to the less well listened. Since April 2010, the Mezzo brand is available in two perfectly complementary networks that offer two completely different programs each month: Mezzo, the channel for artists and reportories. Mezzo Live HD, the most beautiful concert hall in High Definition. MEZZO is constantly expanding its content: a compact guide, new formats, and new repertories while Mezzo Live HD continues its tour of the world's biggest stages. Both chains will join together for exceptional live performances under the partnerships forged by Mezzo with leading French and European institutions and festivals. More than ever before, musical emotion expressed across the globe will be accessible to everyone on Mezzo and Mezzo Live HD.
