Northern Visions track one year in the sporting life of Linfield FC.

NvTv presents the first ever televised history of James Mackie & Sons, once the world’s leading textile machinery manufacturer. Former Mackie employees and local historians tell their stories and explain how Mackies grew from humble beginnings to become a world leading engineering firm. The programme has sad stories and plenty of legendary Belfast humour, as people explain what it was like during Belfast’s industrial heyday.

‘Kick Out The Jams’ is a programme is on NvTv every tuesday from midday and is repeated every hour or so until midday the following day. The show usually lasts 20-30mins and features local bands. They film gigs on location and invite bands into our studio to perform acoustically. They also show local music videos. Each show is dedicated to an individual band (except for the occasional music video special). The show has been running since 2005 and had featured many bands including The Answer, Brian Houston, Biffy Clyro, Desert Hearts, Oppenheimer, Fighting with Wire, And So I Watch You From Afar and Duke Special to name but a few. Over the years there has been barely a handful of Irish bands whose dizzying ascent to the top of the music industry has been made in double-quick time, Ham Sandwich are among those.
