[6] Ofcom's television broadcast licensing update for May 2012, indicates that Greatest Hits TV was sold to UltimateHits Limited.

[7] In early autumn 2012 GHTV (and Channel AKA) were relaunched in 16:9 widescreen with new onscreen graphics.

GHTV moved from an 'artist showcase' format to a wider format including more multi-artist chart-countdown shows: single-artist programmes focused on major stars' work (typically billed as "Every Big Hit From [name]") continue to appear on occasion.

In the relaunch, the channel also moved from mostly focusing on current artists to a cover broader range encompassing 80s and 90s hits as well as contemporary output.

On 16 November 2012 the channel was temporarily renamed 'Christmas Hits TV' with a change to Christmas themed programming and the on-screen graphics and idents.
