On May 22 - marking three years since the atrocity at the Manchester Arena that claimed 22 lives and impacted thousands more - there was a four-hour Manchester Remembers show headed by Spice Girl Melanie C who performed a pop-packed DJ set.
The streaming channel was launched by night time economy adviser Sacha Lord and the Greater Manchester Combined Authority to support the region's restaurants, bars, music venues and other cultural establishments that have been hit by the coronavirus lockdown.
Donations also support the Greater Manchester Mayor's homelessness charity and the Nordoff Robbins music charity.
Millions of people from as far away as California have tuned in to streams including an all-day Hacienda house party, a Spike Island-inspired show from Paul Oakenfold, a DJ set from Maxine Peake, a mini Moovin festival, an at-home Art Battle Manchester, and cookery demonstrations by chefs Gary Usher and Simon Wood.
