Max was an Australian music channel formerly known as musicMAX prior to 14 March 2004, available on Foxtel, Austar and Optus Television. The distinctive MAX logo was designed by Australian designer director, Domenico Bartolo of 21–19.[2]
In May 2020, it was announced that Foxtel would cease operations of Max at the end of June, as part of a deal with Network 10 owner ViacomCBS Networks UK & Australia.[3] It was replaced with the relaunch of MTV Classic at 6AM on July 1; the last video on Max was "Too Good at Goodbyes" by Sam Smith.[4]
