VIER (formerly VT4) is a Flemish commercial television channel. It is part of De Vijver Mediaholding and production company Woestijnvis.
The channel began broadcasting on 1 February 1995 under the name VT4. The channel initially had no Belgian broadcasting license and was transmitted via London (actually from the BBC's transmission station at Brookmans Park in Hertfordshire). The channel now broadcasts legally from Zaventem in Belgium. It is available on the cable network in Brussels as well as in Flanders. It's also available throughout Belgium on the IPTV network of Belgacom, who offers triple play everywhere in Belgium where VDSL is available.
This approach has been more successful and the channel now has a market share of more than 7%.[citation needed]
The owners of VIER also own and operate a sister station called VIJF (formerly VIJFtv).
