Fabchannel.com is a Dutch company that aims to give attention to artists unrecognized by the mass media.The project was founded by Justin Kniest in 2000 in collaboration with internet service provider XS4ALL and broadcast facility company N.O.B.

The website streams free, live, and on-demand video from the Paradiso, Melkweg venues in Amsterdam, the Netherlands and The Roxy Theatre venue in Los Angeles.

With more than 900 live concerts, festivals, performances, debates and lectures, Fabchannel.com has built the biggest concert video archives in the world.

In April 2007 Fabchannel announced that it has launched its own channel on Joost, an online TV distribution platform. This channel, "The Best Of Fab", shows a selection of the archive.

In November 2007, the city of Amsterdam and Foreman Capital each take a 25% share in Fabchannel. The city of Amsterdam pays 1.25 million euro for the share.cite web
