History
The original incarnation of Kiss TV was created by Guy Wingate, was bought back in to head up EMAP's fledgling TV division by then Kiss Chief Executive and the station's original founder, Gordon 'Mac' McNamee. The channel ran for one hour a night on the Mirror Group's L!VE TV cable circuit and after a year moved up to the Granada satellite and cable platform, taking a similar slot in the evening.[citation needed]
Although the original idea for the channel was proposed in 1993 (three years after Kiss FM launched as a legal station).[citation needed]
The channel's presenters included DJs such as BBC Radio 1's Judge Jules. By the time the channel was one year old, it had attracted major sponsorship from blue-chip brands such as Levi's, Sony consumer products and The Guardian.[citation needed]
Availability
The channel is available on digital television platforms and is part of a network of channels owned by The Box Plus Network. On 2 April 2013, all Box Television channels went free-to-air on satellite, apart from 4Music which went free-to-view.[1] As a result, the channels were removed from the Sky EPG in Ireland.[2] However, Kiss TV launched on Freesat on 15 April 2013, alongside three other Box Television channels.[3] Kiss TV and its sister channels returned to Freesat on 8 December 2021.
Kiss TV also broadcasts in Sub-Saharan Africa as a Pay-TV channel, through various digital TV providers without commercials. Music videos are played in place of commercials.[citation needed]
