The channel was replaced by an Australian version of NickMusic as part of a deal with ViacomCBS Networks UK & Australia.

[2] As part of Foxtel's expansion of 20 new channels Club [V] was launched in 2004; the stations focused on dance music and it was originally ad-free[3]

In the lead-up to the switch, a message was frequently broadcast on the channel, promising viewers that "A Change is Coming".

On 15 November 2009, [V]2 relaunched as [V] Hits - a 24-hour pop, rock, urban and dance music channel.

On 19 June 2012, [V] Hits was investigated as the music video "Born this Way" by Lady Gaga (aired at 6:15pm that day) was considered to have some inappropriate scenes.
