History
The channel was initially launched on 29 June 2001 as Pulse Music.

It features singers, actors/actresses, musicians and DJs (such as Craig David, Paul Van Dyk, Leonardo DiCarpio, Orbital, and others) to tell everyone to just pulse (pulse means dance to the beat).

In 2004, Pulse Music began to air non-music programming at late night on Wednesdays until 2007. Some of the programmes, such as Neon Genesis Evangelion, Cowboy Bebop, Freaks and Geeks, and Chappelle's Show, made the channel even popular, despite the backlash that the channel needed to favor more on music.

In the summer 2005, Pulse Music transitioned from 4:3 to 16:9 aspect ratio. According to a Digital Spy interview with Alex Field, he stated the it took almost two years
