Channel V Australia, stylized as Channel [V], is an Australian subscription television music channel that is available on Foxtel, Optus TV and Austar satellite and cable services. It was also previously available in New Zealand on TelstraSaturn's cable TV service in Wellington, Kapiti and Christchurch, until a channel shake-up occurred under new owners TelstraClear in 2002.
Channel [V] is targeted at the youth market, and plays both mainstream and alternative music from local and international artists. Although it uses the name Channel [V] in Australia, it is not associated with the international affiliates and uses the name under the license of News Corporation via STAR TV.
Previously called Red, Channel [V] commenced broadcasting in 1995 on the now defunct Galaxy service. The name change to Channel [V] came about after owners XYZ Entertainment (now xyznetworks) and Channel [V] International came to agreement over naming rights in March 1997.[4] In 2004, the launch of Foxtel Digital and other digital cable and satellite services, saw a second [V] branded channel begin broadcasting called V Hits (formally known as Club[V]), which is a 24-hour music channel that focuses more on music without TV shows.
