    The NewMusic was a weekly music and culture television newsmagazine that aired on the Canadian television stations owned by CHUM Limited: MuchMusic, MuchMoreMusic, Citytv, A-Channel and CP24.

    Created by John Martin, and intended to combine the spirit of magazines like Rolling Stone and New Musical Express with the format of a television newsmagazine, The NewMusic presented current popular music in a broad social, political and economic context. It won an Iris Award in 1984.

    The series was cancelled in 2008 amid ownership changes.

    Theme song[edit]

    There have been many songs used for the theme during the opening credits, each reflecting the music of the time. The original music was the opening bars of "Overture" from Rush's 2112, whereas the most recent theme song was an interpolationofPigbag's "Papa's Got a Brand New Pigbag", which was also used as the show's theme during the early 1980s.
