VH1 was an Indian pay television music television channel and pop culture channel. It was launched in 2005 as a result of a joint venture between MTV India and Zee-Turner, based on the American channel of the same name.[1] It broadcast shows like VH1 Top 10, Hit Factory, Good Morning VH1, VH1 Playlist and VH1 Kpopp'd. It also aired MTV international shows. It was owned by Viacom18 under a license agreement with Paramount Networks EMEAA. VH1 and its HD feed were discontinued on March 15, 2025.[2]
It was the last remaining VH1 channel to use the 2003 branding.
The Indian feed shutdown with one last bumper, with 2 men looking at each other taking their shot glasses. It then cuts to the buildings and eventually shows the VH1 logo before fading into dust. The channel cut to black after that.[3]
