You're right.
The Hits was 2002-2008. That era of the channel, seemingly forgotten.

I’m sure I’m not the only person who loved The Hits when they first got Freeview - it really was well put together, with the theme weekends and different strands. Of course, when it launched, YouTube didn’t exist and fast internet connections were not common!

Interesting that it shared a brand with ‘The Hits’ radio station, which has ultimately become ‘Hits Radio’, taking over from heritage FM brands in much of England.
