Channel [V] Australia is an Australian subscription television music channel, and also the newest (and second largest) Channel [V] channel. It is available on Foxtel, Optus TV and Austar satellite and cable services.
It is targeted at the youth market, and plays both mainstream and alternative music. Although it uses the name, Channel [V] in Australia is not associated with the international affiliates and uses the name under license.
Previously called Red, Channel [V] commenced broadcasting in 1995 on the now defunct Galaxy (Australian TV) 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.[3] In 2004, the launch of Foxtel Digital and other digital cable and satellite services, saw a second [V] branded channel begin broadcasting. Club[V] was a non-stop music video channel with a focus on dance music.
