[edit] Channel [V] International
Channel [V] International is flagship of the Channel [V] network. It was founded after MTV Asia parted ways with the STAR TV Network and the latter network needed a music video station to fill the void. It was produced and operated from Hong Kong from 1994 until 2002, after which operations were shifted to Malaysia in order to save on costs, but some aspects are still operated in Hong Kong. Channel [V] International has a slightly bigger audience in Asia than MTV Asia as it airs in more countries. Since 2008, Channel [V] International has moved back to original studio in Hong Kong, which is also the same studio of Channel V China, Taiwan and India.

[edit] Channel [V] Philippines
Channel [V] Philippines was operated before by Citynet Television (via EMC known as Entertainment Music Channel), a former GMA Network, Inc. subsidiary during the late 90's till 2001, it was seen on UHF Channel 27-Manila. Originally in the early 90's, MTV Asia being under Star TV Network was being aired on DZAC UHF TV 23 (owned and operated by Molave Broadcasting Network and Ermita Electronics Corporation). MTV Networks decided to have their own network operations in Asia ending its partnership with STAR TV. Apparently it paved the way in creating Channel [V] to be the premium music channel of choice in the Asian Region. They launched Channel [V] entitled "The Big Switch" in Hunghom Bay, Hong Kong in 1993. It was in the last quarter of 1993 when AMCARRA group of ABS-CBN began its negotiation with Molave Broadcasting and Ermita Electronics Corporation in buying out the entire station and its broadcasting franchise. After several talks, the successful negotiations resulted the AMCARRA group of ABS-CBN to take over the operations of DWAC UHF Channel 23(Studio 23) airing MTV Southeast Asia on a 24/7 basis. ABS-CBN's AMCARRA was formally launched Studio 23 in 1996 began a blocktime-partnership with MTV Asia, airing MTV Southeast Asia on Studio 23 during the daytime with several foreign canned shows during the primetime slot. In 1995, Star TV decided to air several Channel [V] Programs on GMA's Citynet UHF TV 27. Channel [V] International is still available on cable and satellite television in the Philippines. Last May 20, 2008, selected Channel [V] programs are currently airing via "Philippine Feed Only" basis on STAR World. However on March 1, 2009 the network is managed by both companies Makisig Network and STAR TV and it is seen on SkyCable Channel 25 as part of expanding the channel's distribution and viewership in the Philippines.

Channel [V] Mainland China is the Chinese affiliate of Channel [V]. It is broadcast free-to-air on AsiaSat 3S. Although it is directed towards audiences in Mainland China (and mainland Chinese living abroad), Channel [V] unbalancedly switches between Simplified and Traditional Chinese from time to time without any logical reason.
