Bliss is a British music television channel owned and operated by CSC Media Group (formerly Chart Show Channels). It launched in March 2006 and has been advertised as Total Chill-out Classics. The channel plays classic pop songs and music from the 70's, 80's and 90's, along with hours dedicated to love songs and power ballads. Everyday for three hours at 9am and 7pm, there is a weekly themed slot, such as Blissful Divas, music from female artists, or Bliss at The Movies, music from films. These themed slots change every Monday.
Throughout the year the channel has days dedicated to boy bands, love songs and other types of music depending on dates such as Valentines Day. The channel also shows some newer music videos.
The Bliss logo is on screen in the bottom left-hand corner during music videos and the song information is shown in a gold coloured bar at the start and near the end of each music video. The channels' identity is also seen before and after advert breaks when the Bliss logo slowly comes out of an opening flower.
The channel replaced another music channel called The Amp because it failed to reach a wide enough audience.
Bliss is available 24 hours a day on Sky Digital channel 362 and is part of a boquet of music channels owned by CSC Media, including Scuzz, Flaunt, Chart Show TV, The Vault, Flava and NME TV
On Monday 12th May 2008, CSC Media launched a +1 timeshift channel called Bliss +1. It is available 24 hours a day on Sky channel 363.
