VH1 Europe, also known as VH1 European, is a music television channel from Viacom International Media Networks Europe, based on the American Channel of the same name. This version of VH1 is very different from its American counterpart, since it has never ceased to be a proper music channel, playing a wide variety of music programs on a daily or weekly basis. VH1 Europe is in 2014 the only major music channel in Western Europe still broadcasting in the 4:3 ratio while others broadcast in 16:9 widescreen. VH1 Europe has also kept its old logo while the original U.S. channel has adopted a new logo since 2011.
It appeared for the first time in the United Kingdom in 1994 and the version airing in the UK was subsequently distributed across the whole of Europe. However, its current pan-European feed was officially launched in 2002, hence becoming a separate service from the UK-aimed channel VH1 UK.
