VT4 can also mean the fourth version of Video Toaster, VT[4], a non-linear video editing and effects software package.

VT4 is a Flemish commercial television channel. It is part of SBS Broadcasting Group.

The channel began broadcasting on 1 February 1995. The channel initially had no Belgian broadcasting license and was transmitted via London (actually from the BBC building at Brookman's Park, Hatfield, Hertfordshire). The channel now broadcasts legally from Zaventem in Belgium. It is available on the cable network in Brussels as well as in Flanders.

At first the channel was aimed at an adult demographic but this approach was deemed unsuccessful and the channel moved to a youth-oriented schedule with many imported popular American programmes (like The Simpsons, My Wife and Kids, Friends) subtitled into Dutch. This approach has been more successful and the channel now has a market share of more than 7%.

VT4 has one sister station called VijfTV.
