Greatest Hits TV is a British satellite TV music channel owned by Mushroom TV Ltd.
The channel launched on 29 March 2010 on Sky channel 378 as Lava.[1] Lava specialised in the Indie and rock music genres. Lava's remit was to provide a platform for young rock, pop punk and indie musicians, and features young unsigned music acts from around the United Kingdom.[2] Lava was a sister channel of Channel AKA, which is also owned by Mushroom TV,[2] and replaced Rockworld TV which operated on Sky Channel 378 and closed at 7.00am on 29 March 2010. Both the Lava and Channel AKA formats allowed viewers to decide on the station's playlist through the use of a voting system which enables viewers to watch the videos they want to see.[3]
On 26 April 2011, Lava was rebranded as Greatest Hits TV at 23.45pm.[4] Lava continues on Greatest Hits TV as overnight programming block, called Lava Showcase, between 3.00am and 8.00am.
