You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Bliss''' was a British [[music television]] channel owned and operated by the [[CSC Media Group]], formerly known as Chart Show Channels.

==History==
[[File:Bliss logo.png|thumb|Bliss first logo (2006–2008)]]
Bliss was launched in March 2006, replacing [[The Amp]]. The channel was owned by [[British Sky Broadcasting]] and along with its sister channels [[Flaunt (TV channel)|Flaunt]] and [[Scuzz]], which were operated by [[CSC Media Group|Chart Show Channels]].

The channel was advertised with the tagline of "Total Chill-out Classics". The channel played classic [[Pop music|pop song]]s and music from the 1970s to 1990s, with [[love song]]s and [[power ballad]]s. Every day from 9:00((nbsp))am to 12:00((nbsp))pm and 7:00((nbsp))pm to 10:00((nbsp))pm, there was a weekly themed slot, such as Blissful Divas, female artists, or Bliss at The Movies. These themed slots changed every Monday.

The Bliss logo was a gold color with a shine effect moving across it every few seconds. The logo was placed in the bottom left-hand corner during music videos, and the song information was shown in a gold-colored bar at the start and near the end of each music video. The channel's identity was also seen before and after advertisement breaks, when the Bliss logo would slowly come out of an opening flower.((Citation needed|date=March 2023))

Sky announced in November 2006 that their music channels would go free-to-air, beginning on 11 December 2006, and soon afterwards, Sky transitioned full ownership to Chart Show Channels in December 2006.((Citation needed|date=March 2023)) Previously, Bliss and its sister channels were encrypted in [[NDS Group|NDS]] from its launch, and broadcasting on the [[Eutelsat 28A]] communications satellite.

On 6 November 2007, Bliss and its sister channels were removed from the ex-NTL [[Virgin Media]] areas, following a failure of an agreement from Chart Show Channels for the networks to be made available in ex-Telewest areas and Virgin Media focusing more on their free on-demand services.<ref>((cite web | url=https://www.digitalspy.com/tech/cable/a79292/virgin-tv-removes-bliss-flaunt-scuzz/ | title=Virgin TV removes Bliss, Flaunt, Scuzz | website=[[Digital Spy]] | date=6 November 2007 ))</ref>

On 3 March 2008, the Bliss website launched.

On 12 May 2008, a [[timeshift channel]] called Bliss +1 was launched. It was available 24 hours a day on Sky Channel 363. On 2 June 2008, Bliss +1 was closed to make way for a 24-hour stream for [[AnimeCentral]].

===Relaunch and closure===
In late 2008, its logo changed to plain white lettering with 'BLISS' in capitals.

On 1 February 2011, Bliss launched [[Freesat]] on Channel 517. It moved to Channel 506 on 13 September 2012. It was removed along with [[Flava (TV channel)|Flava]] on 21 July 2014.

Throughout November and December of 2013, Bliss became "Blissmas", a Christmas music channel playing Christmas music 24/7. Bliss programming changed between 10 and 20 November, with the exception of two years, when it started on 6 November and then on 1 November.((Citation needed|date=December 2023))

Bliss was shut down on 27 November 2015, after nine years, while in the middle of its annual run as Blissmas. In 2018, Christmas music moved to its sister music channel, [[Chart Show Hits]] (called Chart Show Dance at time of closure).((Citation needed|date=January 2023))
