Apparently, according to the creator :

When you visit https://tv.theindiebeat.fm - bottom right, there's a pink follow button and you can follow the channel from your Fediverse server and the account will post when different shows are going live or when the chat is open. There's also a schedule button which says when all the different genre hours are on too. On the left under the live channel, there's also a "now playing" feature that links directly to the artist currently playing.

I just came here to post the same thing haha. It’s very cool! Reminds me of when MTV started. I’ve only watched about an hour of this station but it appears that:

Live stream music video format
Independent musicians feature
There is a schedule you can view on the site to see which genres / shows you want to tune in for
There are no presenters currently
There is a group chat feature which sometimes opens for some viewings
There is a follow button that lets you get notified of broadcast. It works via your fediverse handle.

Personally I think this is among the coolest things to happen online in some time.

absolutely agreed. It is all connected with Bandwagon (which federates) and Mirlo etc.

BTW when The Indie Beat Radio came along, I made a GNOME extension for that. I should add a link to TIB TV to the extension, but I haven't gotten around to that yet.
