The correct title of this article is Channel [V]². The substitution or omission of any < > [ ] { } is due to technical restrictions.

Channel [V]² is an Australian pay-tv channel. It is the sister channel of Channel [V]. Both channels are owned and operated by XYZnetworks. It can be watched on Foxtel Digital, Optus and Austar's Digital Service.

[edit] History

[edit] Club [V]

The former Club [V] logo

One of the 20 new channels introduced as part of Foxtel's new digital service, Club [V] was the name of what is now known as Channel [V]². It focused particularly on dance music and was originally, (like most sister cable channels) ad-free.

[edit] Channel [V]²

The new name and format of Club [V] was launched on January 12, 2007. In the lead-up to the switch, a message was frequently broadcast on the channel, promising viewers "A Change is Coming". Since the re-launch, Channel V and Channel [V]² have become more closely tied in with each other (e.g. Showing viewers what is currently playing on the opposite channel), and using the same format for displaying song information. Even though the channels are tied-in with each other, Channel [V]² still does not play any entertainment oriented shows, rather playing ads for them.

[edit] [V] Hits

On November 15 2009, [V]2 will be relaunched as [V] Hits.

[edit] Format

Through out the day, [V]2 holds several countdowns based on location, and other miscellaneous themes. A large number of the countdowns are "Top 22" charts based on ratings from country to country, and the iTunes 22. Every weeknight, they do a "Perfect 10" that chooses a theme, and has 10 songs related to that the theme changes from day to day.

Very occasionally, normally for special occasions, they will do much larger count downs, ranging from top 50 to top 200 or more in a chosen theme. Because larger countdown take up a large portion of the day, these are very rare.
