The Hits was a music video channel broadcast in the United Kingdom and Ireland, owned by Box Television.

The channel showcased a range of pop centred on chart hits and current favourites.

Originally, the vast majority of music videos were selected by viewers by means of calling a premium-rate telephone number, however the policy was abandoned with the channel playing an automated selection of videos and countdown shows presented by celebrities and singers past and present.

In November 2007, Ofcom found The Hits had breached its broadcast licence for failing to retain copies of its programming.

The broadcaster was unable to provide Ofcom with a review copy of the programme in question because of "problems with its logging system".

Condition 11 of a Television Licensable Content Service licence requires the broadcaster to keep recordings of all output for 60 days after transmission, providing Ofcom with any material on request.
