'Zik was a French television channel, owned byAB Groupe.

The channel was originally launched only onAB Sat, in 2000 running from 17:00 to midnight on the German music channel Onyx (owned by AB Sat) which replaced channel 11 on the AB Sat collection,France Courses (now Équidia). The channel was the offshoot ofNostalgie la télé andMusique classique in the musical channels of AB Sat. The programming was different to any previously seen in France. The channel was shown via theHot Bird satellite and aimed to partner with some of France's biggest clubs. However, success never arrived.

In 2003, AB Sat relaunched the channel in order to show itself as a black music channel. The channel was included in theCanalSat programming. Its audience share was 0.1%.

In 2005, the marketplace intensified with the arrival ofMTV Base,Trace TV,M6 Music Black, and the froup arrived to stop its black music output and become morephone-in oriented. (S.M.S, on-screen chat).

It is available through subscription on all cable operator and digital television networks.
