Kutonen (Sixth) is a Finnish general entertainment channel that replaced the music-video oriented The Voice TV in September 2012.

Later that year they announced the name and the profile of the channel: Vitonen was due to become Finland's first cross media channel, widely utilizing the benefits of wireless technology and allowing viewers to participate in the broadcasts online, with their mobile phones and later, with the red button of one's set-top box (of which the latter never happened on this particular station).

Test broadcasts were launched in December 2003 in the Otaniemi campus of the then-Helsinki University of Technology by the state-owned VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland.

Previously that year various private companies also took part in an auction for the contract to provide red button services for Vitonen.

Viisi is also largely claimed to be responsible for introducing the TV advertising revolution in Finland, with overhead banners on top of broadcasts, adverts incorporated to station DOG's and showing classified MMS ads sent by viewers during normal breaks.

The co-operation included simulcasting SBS-owned radio station Kiss FM's morning show Aamutiimi daily from 5 am onwards until the beginning of actual programs.

In August 2004, SBS, which already owned multiple radio stations in Finland and other Nordic countries, announced it would expand its services to television by buying Viisi from Vizor Media.

After buying the channel, the new owner rebranded it as a 24/7 music-oriented station called The Voice, launching the new brand on 11 November 2004.

At first it only showed a mix of music videos and adverts, but five months after the launch, in February 2005, hosts appeared on the channel for the first time as well as did topical magazines.

Initially covering only southern and western parts of the country, it grew to be a national station in a very small period of time.

These means included turning the channels free-to-air for a few weekends each year, allowing the free viewers to get a glimpse of what Canal+ had to offer.

After a while SBS realized that their message didn't necessarily get to all viewers and being desperate to get subscriber figures up, they decided to utilize their free-to-air channels for promoting purposes.

In Finland, Canal+ had the exclusive rights to Finnish national football team's qualifier matches for FIFA World Cup 2010 and their only free-to-air television channel in the country at the time was The Voice.

The changes in the schedule woke large amounts of hatred among the loyal viewers of The Voice, who found music videos a great alternative to the prime time line-ups of other channels.

", that "TV Viisi was the creation of a dumbed-down channel boss who has most likely spent his whole life digging his nose and eating all the snot that comes out".

Even though he made a heavy attack against the channel, Enbuske later went on to present his own self-titled talk show on TV Viisi in 2012.

The same arrangement continued all the way until 1 April 2011, when TV Viisi moved to its own channel and The Voice turned back into a 24-hour music video station.

The whole channel was even boycotted for a time by all kinds of Christian denominations due to "glorifying secularism and sacrilegious attitudes and spoiling the lives of young, innocent children and the youth of Finland" and the boycott was backed with the classic claims of backmasking having revealed hidden messages.

The show is accompanied by an interactive site, where users are encouraged to send clips of themselves singing songs featured on the station's playlist.

A daytime comedy talk show hosted by Jukka Rossi, Juuso Mäkirinne and Tea Khalifa, that at first ran for 1,5 hours.

Mainly hosted by Tea Khalifa, the program was broadcast from Lasipalatsi in central Helsinki and had studio guests every day.

New bids were typed to the screen in real time using the Vidiprinter system, made famous by the BBC in their football show Final Score.
