9XM had reached number one position in the music channel genre within three weeks of its launch in October 2007.
There are no VJs on the music channel but it has animated characters like Chote-Bade, Bheegi Billi and Betel Nuts.
“We are confident that this first-of-its-kind channel will do a repeat of its performance in India to capture the spirit of youth and become a cult music channel in the UK too,” said Mukerjea.
