History
C Music Entertainment Ltd was founded by Julian Rigamonti in 2007 and the channel's distribution is handled by Paris-based Agents Thema. The C in C Music TV stands for the genres of the channel's playlist which covers classical music (e.g. Beethoven), crossover music (e.g. Il Divo) and cinema music (original film soundtracks e.g. John Williams).
C Music TV avoids long form concerts and operas traditionally associated with classical music on television and instead replaces them with short form music videos, more widely associated with pop music.

To Europe on the Eurobird 9A (9° East) satellite (encrypted with CONAX) and on Eutelsat 10A (10° East), to North Africa on the Eutelsat 5 West A (5.0° West) satellite, to South Africa on Eutelsat 36 B (35.9° East), to Portugal on Hispasat 1E (30.0° West) and on SES 5 (5° East), to the Middle East on Badr 5 (26.0° East) and on Intelsat 20 (68.5° East).
