Q TV is a UK music channel based on Q Magazine, launched in 2000. It is operated by Box Television, and specialises in indie, rock and alternative. In common with other EMAP channels, Q was originally a jukebox channel, where music video selections made were by the viewers using premium rate phone lines; however this element was dropped in 2004.

It is only available on digital satellite and cable.

[edit] FHM TV

For a few years much of the prime time output of the channel was instead given over to FHM TV, based on another magazine (also by EMAP), which specialises mainly on female R&B and pop groups. However in October 2007 the FHM TV block on Q was dropped and now Q broadcasts its full hours again.
