Fizz is a digital satellite TV channel, owned by Video Interactive Television [ [http://www.ofcom.org.uk/static/tvlicensing/cs/962.htm Licence Details for Fizz ] ] . It is available through Sky Digital within the UK on channel 371.

The output of the station is music videos from a range of genres. This is unlike it's sister channel Channel U TV, which is more focused on Grime and UK hip hop. The channel also has a heavy interactive texting element, through the viewers being able to send in text messages and pictures to show on screen.

After 10pm Fizz broadcoasts "Full on fizz" where viewers are allowed to send in explicict pictures and the channel is allowed to play explicict videos.

The channel has been frequently criticized by viewers for its technical difficulties including the video screen going blank and viewers texts to the channel not appearing.

Breakdown

On 8th October 2008, Fizz, Channel U & Clubland TV all suffered major technical hitches. Fizz being the worst out of all 3.

Fizz was showing a blank video screen with only the video selection numbers appearing on rotation constantly. The channel, which is normally fixed within an hour was still showing no music videos the next day (9th October) until 7.00pm approximately. On return, the channel still suffered technical glitches during the night with videos & competition promos having to be reset sometimes.

Fizz suffered more technical glitches on the Friday (10th October) with the channel being off air again at 4.00pm, with the channel texter 'FIZ' explaining to viewers who were texting in that there were still technical problems that were being fixed whilst they text.

This is the longest, Fizz has suffered technical problems since it started broadcasting.

The technical problems also affected sister channel, Channel U & Clubland TV. Channel U were most of the time broadcasting videos but with their usual graphics but without their logo on screnn, whilst Clubland TV were suffering out of synch audio / video (even through commercials).
