This also continues a renaming that Viacom has been doing to it's music group's spinoff channels over the past year with MTV Jams being renamed under the BET James banner, Palladia being renamed as the American version of MTV Live, VH1 Soul became BET Soul , and CMT Pure Country became CMT Country.
VH1 Classic was launched in 2000 as channel that aired older VH1 music videos but move to also air other music themed programming and had more focus on Adult hits and rock.
From previews of the new line up it seems to be airing older MTV shows like "Unplugged", "Daria" , "Beavis and Butt-Head", TRL related stuff , and possibly more. This is also looks to be the end of VH1 named channels besides VH1.
If we get more information ,we will update this article....
