The Box Plus Network (formerly Video Jukebox Network International Ltd and Box Television Ltd) is a British television company which is owned by Bauer Media Group (50%) and Channel Four Television Corporation (50%) and acts as its music television programme production arm.
On 2 April 2013, all The Box Plus Network channels went free-to-air on satellite, apart from 4Music which went free-to-view.
The company is based in Victoria in London.
The Box is well known for its First Play feature, where many videos often make their UK or world première. This new music is often shown through the Box Fresh show on the channel.
In July 2012, Box Television launched a 24-hour pan-African music channel. The channel focuses on international and local music from across the African continent. It is available in 15 countries across Africa. Box Television has also made available its other major channels across Africa.
Box Hits mainly broadcasts general mainstream pop music from the past few years. It took its name and format of the Smash Hits brand from Bauer which existed in Smash Hits Radio and once ran as a magazine.
Box Upfront (formerly Heat) is a fresh music channel which launched on 3 July 2012. It formerly took its name and format from Bauer's weekly Heat magazine, and broadcast showbiz news, celebrity features and music videos. It replaced Q on Sky, Smallworld Cable, UPC Ireland, Virgin Media and in Iceland on Síminn.
Kiss TV is a commercial music television channel from Box Television available on the Freesat, Sky and Virgin Media digital TV platforms. The playlist is predominantly mainstream Urban Pop, Dance and R&B, although since its relaunch in Summer 2006, (and the launch of a sister channel Q) it has begun to focus more on dance music once again. It is based on format of the Kiss brand from Bauer which also exists in Kiss Radio.
