Channel V

Channel [V] ("V" as in the letter, not the Roman numeral "5") was a music television network originally launched by Star TV Hong Kong (now Disney Networks Group Asia Pacific). It was part of the unit of Disney International Operations, and was launched on 27 May 1994 to replace the first incarnation of MTV's Asian operation before it was shut down on 1 October 2021. The mainland Chinese version was owned by Star China Media, and was the last operational Channel [V]. The Australian channels were owned by Foxtel before their closure. Channel [V] previously operated either a local feed or a relay of the international version in Hong Kong, Macau, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Thailand or localized versions in India, the Philippines, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan and Australia.
