On 29 March 2010, Lava launched, replacing Rockworld TV and specialising in all different types of rock music.
Lava was a sister channel of Channel AKA and Starz TV, and allowed viewers to decide on the station's playlist through the use of a voting system which enables viewers to watch the videos they want to see.
After being renamed to Greatest Hits TV, Lava still aired under a block named "Lava Showcase".

On 24 August 2012, GHTV and Channel AKA were relaunched in 16:9 widescreen, with new graphics.
Greatest Hits TV moved from an 'artist showcase' format to a wider format including more multi-artist chart-countdown shows: single-artist programmes focused on major stars' work (typically billed as "Every Big Hit From [name]") continue to appear on occasion. In the relaunch, the channel also moved from mostly focusing on current artists to a cover broader range encompassing 80s and 90s hits as well as contemporary output. The relaunch also saw the Lava Showcase block dropped in favour of various-artist overnight block 'Insomnia'.
