History
Around fall 1994, rumours spread that TV3 was planning a new channel aimed at a younger audience, and was confirmed in January 1995 that a fourth channel was coming to ER TV screens. Potential for the channel included It launched as Ch 4 (said by announcers as Channel 4) at 8pm on Halloween night 1995. The network was to offer a mix of programming not seen on other networks, as well as popular series made famous on TV3. The first night included The Simpsons, new episodes of Seinfeld and Friends, and a sneak peek of Mintered, due to start next year on TV3, repeating on Ch 4 beginning with a preview programme, It Takes 2x2. Channel 4 originally used in-vision continuity, but was quickly dropped.

On May 1, 2003, Ch 4 was completely relaunced as ZTV. While it kept some of it’s original launch shows, most were phased out and moved to TV3 or other channels. The refresh also saw the channel launch a larger emphasis on music programming.

There was a weekly Thursday block foucusing on adult animation known as Padlock. This included the Euro Republican debuts of Monkey Dust, 3 South, Spy Groove, Hey Monie! and Clone High, and also included Family Guy, South Park & Queer Duck, all of which had already aired on TV3 and Ch 4. Later additions to the block include Odd Job Jack, Game Over, Stripperella, Free for All and Father of the Pride.

ZTV rebranded into Viasat4 on September 8, 2007. Most music programming would be moved to TV3 and eventually V5 while V4 would focus on entertainment programming for youth audiences.

On Febuary 19, 2020, It was announced that as part of a new multi-year deal with The Walt Disney Company, that Viasat 4 would be relaunched on the coming April 3rd as a localised version of the Fox network.

The rebrand saw a shift to a younger audience, and was repositioned as both a variety channel aimed at the 0-39 age group, including movies, comedy, gameshows and kids shows, and a youth network similar to the original Ch 4.
