Overview and Availability
The channel showcases a range of pop centering on chart hits and current favourites. Originally, the vast majority of music videos were selected by viewers by means of calling a premium rate telephone number, however this policy seems to have been recently abandoned with the channel playing an automated selection of videos and countdown shows presented by celebrities and singers past and present. Programming is often themed to coincide with events such as St. Patrick's Day and Christmas. For the music genre, see Pop music. ...

The channel is available free-to-air on the British Digital terrestrial television service Freeview on channel 18. It is the only pure music video channel operating on the Freeview platform (TMF, which is owned by chief competitor MTV, and E4 broadcast music videos for only a portion of their schedule). It is also shown on Sky Digital, channel 350, but is encrypted, so that only Sky subscribers can view it. This situation is expected to change when it's current satellite carriage contract expires. The Hits is also available on Virgin Media, channel 330, and is included in the basic (TV Size: M) package. It can also be seen through the British Forces Broadcasting Service. Digital Terrestrial Television (DTTV or DTT) is an implementation of digital technology to provide a greater number of channels and/or better quality of picture and sound using aerial broadcasts to a conventional antenna (or aerial) instead of a satellite dish or cable connection. ...

Ofcom Controversy In November 2007, Ofcom found The Hits had breached broadcast licence for failing to retain copies of its programming. Two viewers had complained questioning the authenticity of some of the winning entries on text-in quiz programme Win Win TV, broadcast overnight on June 26.
The broadcaster was unable to provide Ofcom with a review copy of the programme in question because of "problems with its logging system". Condition 11 of a Television Licensable Content Service licence requires the broadcaster to keep recordings of all output for 60 days after transmission, providing Ofcom with any material on request.
"Failure to supply these recordings is a serious and significant breach of the broadcaster's licence," the regulator noted. "This [incident] will be held on record." [2]
