The channel plays nostalgic music and classic pop from the 1970s onwards, occasionally featuring music videos and concert footage from as early as at least the 1950s and 1960s. it also features a few classic entertainment shows from the 90s.

The Vault logo is on screen in the top left-hand corner during music videos and the song information fades in and out, at the bottom of the screen, at the start and near the end of each music video.

The Vault is available 24 hours a day on Sky channel 365 and is part of a bouquet of channels owned by SPT. It launched on Freeview in November 2017, replacing Chart Show TV.

2010 rebrand

The Vault rebranded with a new logo and graphics presentation on 29 April 2010 along with newly themed content and a much more diverse mix of classic pop, classic dance, classic rock, classic RnB, love songs and chill out music throughout the last 25 years. A further rebrand took place in 2014 with an additional focus on pop music. Another rebrand happened in 2016 with some entertainment shows from the 90s being gradually added.
