The Vault is a British music television channel owned and operated by CSC Media Group. It launched in Summer 2003 and shows classic music videos from yesteryear and songs which are between one and five years old. It also plays some music from the eighties and nineties. The Vault plays songs which were big hits and also plays music videos in programmes based on different themes such as boybands, girl groups and music from cinema, as well as music from different genres. The channel also used to show classic episodes of The Chart Show, which was produced by The Vault's parent company. The episodes have been cancelled various times, but The Vault's forum admin claims that the show will return eventually to the channel's schedule.

The Vault logo is on screen in the top left-hand corner during music videos and the song information fades in and out, at the bottom of the screen, at the start and near the end of each music video.

The Vault is available 24 hours a day on Sky Digital channel 356 and is part of a boquet of music channels owned by CSC Media, including Chart Show TV, Flava, Bliss, Scuzz, Flaunt and NME TV. It is also now available on Freesat.
