In late March 2001, it and Dramanet were acquired by MBC. With the acquisition, the channel was reformatted as GEMBC, a game channel, before becoming MBC Game in 2003. In July 2011, its reconversion into a music channel was announced.

The channel was discontinued on January 31, 2012, and replaced by a music channel, MBC M.
