VH1 HD was a Brazilian television channel dedicated to music programming, owned byViacomCBS Networks Americas. It was launched on December 1, 2009, and started broadcasting in the rest of Latin America in 2014.
It specialized on airing current high-definition music videos. It had independent programming, separate from either VH1 Brazil or VH1 Latin America, both of which were centered on airing music videos from artists of the 1970s to the 1990s and thus was only broadcast in4:3SDTV.
The station never had its ratings measured. On October 7, 2020, VH1 HD was replaced by a high-definition simulcast of VH1 Europe. The latter also replacedVH1 Latin America, now serving as the channel's 4:3 letterboxed feed. The replacement came after some specialized channels ofViacomCBS were shut down, likeMTV Hits Latin America (which was replaced withMTV Hits Europe) andVH1 MegaHits (which was replaced withNickMusic). Since VH1 Europe was replaced with MTV 00s in Europe, the VH1 HD channel was shut down in Latin America.
