[edit] 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.
[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.
