Concept
editMuchMusic's flagship show delivered the news in music and entertainment, new and popular music videos, live performances, and interviews with artists and celebrities. Viewers in Canada could watch at home and interact with the show via Twitter. Although the show wasn't simulcast, international viewers could watched the show online through their website.[4] Tickets were also available through the website to anyone as long as they can make it to the show.

End
editOn August 1, 2013, it was announced live on-air and on Twitter that a new show would come in September and that New.Music.Live. would be done. However, fans were getting the message that a new show similar to New.Music.Live. would arrive during Fall 2013 based on tweets sent on NML's Twitter feed. All of MuchMusic's in-house shows like Today's Top 10 and Countdown were moved to MTV's new studio in the same building. The former MuchMusic studio space has now been taken over by CTV's The Social[9] and the MuchMusic logo signage outside the building has since been removed.
In 2014, MuchMusic rebranded itself as Much. No new show was ever announced.
