===1984–1993===
Videomusic was one of the first music channels in Europe (alongside Musicbox in Germany [1984-1988] and TV6 France [1986-1987]). It was founded by lawyer Michele Lo Foco and managed by Marialina Marcucci and Pier Luigi Stefani.
===1993–1996===
In 1994, Videomusic was sold to Vittorio Cecchi Gori, the owner of an Italian channel known as Telemontecarlo. Later in 1996, Videomusic was rebranded as TMC2 (Tele Monte Carlo 2) and its schedules included sports, news and movies. However, the channel also retained music as its most important content and also retained use of the Videomusic logo during music programmes.

===1996–2001===
In 1997, the Videomusic logo disappeared, but music programmes were increased again. The intention of rebranding the channel again as Videomusic failed because Cecchi Gori sold it to Telecom Italia Media, the former co-owner of MTV Italy, which was later closed down permanently in favour of a terrestrial retransmission of MTV Italy until 2015. The Videomusic library is now owned by ViacomCBS.
