Programme format

Eclipse Music TV generally plays a top five countdown that consists of national and international video clips, requested by the viewers using SMS, as well as new releases and a classic clip. It also frequently has competitions such as mobile phones and DJ sets like Turntables as well as CD reviews, celebrity gossip and star interviews. While on the Seven Network, the show ran for 60 minutes, whereas on the Nine Network the run-time is shortened to a half-hour.
