MTV Hits (Australian and New Zealand TV channel)
MTV Hits Australia & Hits first launched as TMF Australia in April 2007 on the Optus Television pay TV service[1] and allowed viewers to interact with the channel via the web and mobile (3G Network) commencing on 22 June 2007.[7] Although MTV Classic and MTV Hits will no longer be available on Foxtel, they will continue to be offered by Australian IPTV service Fetch TV and New Zealand pay TV provider Sky Television.[9] On 16 December 2013, FetchTV announced via their Facebook page that as of 1 January 2014, MTV Music would replace MTV Hits on their service, as was done by Foxtel the month earlier.[11][12] Ultimately, this resulted in the closure of the channel, as Sky was the last remaining provider of MTV Hits.[13] On 1 August 2023, MTV Hits was replaced by the European version in Australia, sharing the same schedule but 9 hours ahead.
