JBTV is a music television show featuring interviews, music videos, and live in-studio performances from up-and-coming musicians. Based in Chicago, Illinois, JBTV has over its 26 year history helped several Chicago area bands reach a wider audience, as well as giving exposure to more alternative national and international artists. It was created and hosted by Jerry Bryant in 1984, who today remains a vital aspect in the production and post-production of the show's recent reformatting. As of the show's 25th Season, Jerry Bryant remains one of the show's hosts, co-hosted with Ryan Manno, Jenna Martinelli, Brendan Kelly, Nicole Marsel, Jamal Neff, Tanner Rittenhouse, and Tobias Jeg.
The show also posts all of its aired content on its website, JBTV Online (as well as exclusive, live streams of in-studio performances and behind-the-scenes footage showcasing visiting bands and the show's production team).

[edit] Format
Original Format (1984–2010)
In its original format (from the show's creation in 1984 until its reformatting in early 2010), a band or solo performer would visit the JBTV studio for an interview with owner and host Jerry Bryant, selecting a number of music videos (both the artist's and their own favorite videos) that would be shown in the aired episode. The show aired on broadcast television WJYS-62 in Chicago and Public-access television cable TV channels, and therefore had no commercial interruptions.
