Controversy
[
edit
]
On January 29, 2007,
VTR
added the network in a channel slot timeshared with
GolTV
. This caused anger among its subscribers, which only grew when VTR added
FX
to the same channel slot on May, making VH1 available only after midnight. In August, the channel was pulled off with no notification given. Despite this, VH1 was added back in early-2009 on its own channel slot. The channel was withdrawn in mid-April 2020.
