History
Prior its launch, football club would be offered 24 billion euros in total, to abandon rival platform NOVA in favor of Alpha Digital. As a result, PAOK, Panachaiki, Panionios, Proodeftiki, PAS Giannina, AEK, Olympiacos, Aris, Xanthi and others signed up. Following the closure of the platform, the latter four were sued by Alpha TV, regarding the agreements made.

The platform started operating commercially on. In four months, it surpassed the amount of 35.000 subscribers. Alpha TV bought the rights to Nickelodeon cartoons, to be broadcast on a block on Alpha Cinema 1, which would later become a 12-hour station on its own. The European feeds of MTV and VH1 were added on the platform on. Nine days later, a party was held on the New York Summer Club, over the Peace and Friendship Stadium, celebrating that addition.

After the closure of the platform, subscribers were offered by the owner, to become NOVA subscribers.
