Scuzz is a British music television channel owned and operated by CSC Media Group (formerly Chart Show Channels). It launched on 17 April 2003 and has been advertised as Total Rock. The channel plays a wide range of modern and classic rock and metal music ranging from emo to black metal.[citation needed] The station encourages its viewers to 'rock hard, only with Scuzz'. It particularly specializes in the hardcore and metalcore genres.[citation needed] Scuzz tends to play slightly more underground music videos than the other British rock channel Kerrang,[citation needed] although they do share quite a few songs. Scuzz also shows many exclusive music videos for the first time. Most videos are sped-up between 10 and 20% in order to show more adverts and videos per day.
