Coming Up With A Name For The Channel

The first task is to come up with a name for my Music Channel, from here, a logo can be developed, and so can the rest of the work...

The niche in the market I found is that unsigned and underground music doesn't very often get air time on television, this channel I am creating will be dedicated to these kinds of bands and artists making it quite specialist and different from the existing channels.

niche (nɪtʃ, niːʃ)

— n
1. a recess in a wall, esp one that contains a statue
2. any similar recess, such as one in a rock face
3. a position particularly suitable for the person occupying it: he found his niche in politics
4. ( modifier ) relating to or aimed at a small specialized group or market
5. ecology the role of a plant or animal within its community and habitat, which determines its activities, relationships with other organisms, etc

This was the original name I had thought up for the channel. Now I am not so sure...

As it is a varied channel, I thought about using a word that means variety:
- Mishmash
- Intermix

Another name I thought of was Infrasound or Infrasonic, as this means:

'sound that is lower in frequency than 20 Hz (Hertz) or cycles per second, the "normal" limit of human hearing'

This could be transferred metaphorically to the music on the channel, which could be described as having lower in frequency plays on television compared to normal commercial music that's on a lot of the music channels today.
