Z Music Television was a Christian-oriented cable television channel with a music video format similar to that of MTV, and, in its earliest days, direct marketing appeals similar to The Home Shopping Network.[1] Their programming, largely music videos with some documentaries, interstitial "Z Buzz" news updates, and media related shows,[2] was characterized as being aimed at "12-to 54-year olds."[3] Unlike style oriented channels such as Country Music Television, they were not limited to a particular musical genre; they played the full spectrum of Contemporary Christian music from reggae to country music.[4] Z Music Television closed in 2000.
