Country Music Channel


Country Music Channel is an Australian cable and satellite music television channel owned and operated by Foxtel Networks. It was the only country music video channel in Australia, created after the departure of MusicCountry from the Australian market.
Country Music Channel ceased operations at the end of June 2020, and was replaced by a regional version of CMT.
However, in July 2025, the channel relaunched, alongside Max, in Foxtel's new music channel relaunch in partnership with NightLife Australia.
