Sol Música is a Spanish online music video brand and former linear television channel owned by AMC Networks.
It started broadcasting to Spain and Portugal on July 1, 1997, replacing the Latin niche music channel HTV, produced by Claxson, on cable networks in both countries. In 1999, coinciding with a rebrand, the Portuguese feed of the channel split from the Spanish version, and by March 2000, had increased its ratings in Portugal alone by 70%.Sol Música subiu 70 por cento
In October 2004, TV Cabo announced that it would cease analog broadcasting Sol Música in favor of an Iberian version of The Biography Channel, which was a response to a planned TVI music channel which never materialized.
