Bohemia Visual Music (aka) BVM is a company that operated and programmed KPHE... channel's 19 and 44 in the Phoenix Metro Area which is Maricopa and surrounding counties. After KPHE moved and changed owners and transmitters the station covered 3.9 million homes. BVM-TV is the ONLY antenna over the air broadcast TV signal that runs music videos, concerts, live interviews and old short film clips running 24 hours per day 7 days a week! We don't advertise but get by with word of mouth about the superior and eclectic programming. We now have the ability to run stations with a massive internationally licensed music video library. There are several formats/genres collected from the 70's as well as all the current videos and vintage material released to BVM-TV by all major and independent record labels."Bohemia Afterdark" started in 1982 on a local Phoenix access channel and then as late night "paid programming" on a national basis until 2002.
