In January 2008, Clubland launched its own digital TV channel, Clubland TV.

Since 2019, Clubland has stopped releasing new compilation albums, instead focusing on events that tour the United Kingdom,^[1] and Clubland TV continues to be run by Universal Music TV, playing mostly Throwback Dance from the early 1990s to the late 2010s.

Website

The Clubland Website, www.clubland.fm, featured various content such as music, videos, mixes, downloads, games, live chat, and so much more. You could access all the latest information about albums, upcoming events, live performances and more. It also contained a Clubland shop in which you could buy various official Clubland merchandise such as t-shirts. The Clubland website no longer exists, and instead, has been put into the hands of the 'All Around the World' website (www.aatw.com) where you can see the latest information about Clubland albums, and other music by All Around the World.

Radio Show Podcasts

Since October 2006, each month there had been a podcast released by Clubland, available for listeners to download from their website or iTunes . Dave Bethell presented the podcast, which was usually about 30 minutes long, in the same style as a radio show and the podcast was also used mainly to air exclusive new Clubland tracks and advertise forthcoming Clubland releases and events. Podcasts are now unavailable.

Clubland TV

In January 2008, Clubland launched its own TV channel on Sky channel 383. The channel airs the latest Clubland music videos as well as Clubland classics. In the future the channel will show live events and interviews from Clubland as well as competitions and prizes. The channel is now on Virgin TV channel 345 and Freeview channel 80.
