History
Q was launched on 2 October 2000. 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.
On 3 July 2012, Q closed and was replaced with
FHM TV
For a few years, much of the prime time output of the channel was instead given over to FHM TV, broadcasting between 4pm and 6am based on another magazine (also by EMAP), which specialised mainly on females in music videos. However in October 2007, the FHM TV block on Q was dropped and Q regained its full hours.
