Channel [V] India was an Indian television channel affiliated to the international Channel [V] launched on 27 May 1994, as Channel [V] South Beam on the AsiaSat 2 satellite. The channel owned by STAR India and 21st Century Fox broadcasts a mix of music and original fiction programs.[3] From an international music channel in its early days to a music driven one to a youth-oriented entertainment is the path it had taken.[3][4]

On 1 July 2012, Channel [V] India discontinued music programming. However, Channel [V] International continue to air music programming in India for those with C/Ku band satellite dishes until its cessation on 1 October 2021. It started focusing on original content through fiction dailies and studio formats that addressed youth issues.[5] However On 30 June 2016, the channel discontinued fiction dailies and studio formats and reverted to a 24-hour music-channel format.[6]

On 1 August 2016, the channel changed its look and logo and continued music programming which plays latest Indian and International hits catering to the tastes of the discerning Indian youth.[7] The channel was shut down on 15 September 2018 and Star Sports relaunched Star Sports 3 for the first time in 2013.[2]
