Welcome to VICELAND: A New TV Channel by VICE.

Over the past several years VICE has been making tons (thousands) of videos and documentaries for you, devoted to the topics and the subjects that you find most important, weird, or just plain funny. 

Today VICE  announces it’s latest venture – VICELAND – a 24-hour cable channel featuring hundreds of hours of new programming. We’ve been shooting and cutting for months, and we can’t wait to share with you our vision of what television should look like.

• Spike Jonze has been working with us on the new channel and he said it best: “It feels like most channels are just a collection of shows. We wanted VICELAND to be different, to feel like everything on there has a reason to exist and a strong point of view. Our mission with the channel is not that different from what our mission is as a company: It’s us trying to understand the world we live in by producing pieces about things we’re curious about, or confused about, or that we think are funny.”

Vice will be taking over H2, the History Channel’s alternate, which is available in about 70 million homes. The channel has been many months in the making, with Vice having previously confirmed plans following a $250 million investment from A+E, which owned H2. The channel is scheduled to launch in early 2016. In addition to the new channel, Vice is also reportedly about to receive a fresh influx of cash thanks to a $200 million investment from Disney. 

• Check out the trailer (YOUTUBE) and tell us what you think. We’re dying to know! 

Also last month, Vice News has announced plans for a series of channels around the world.
