VTV:Varsity Television officially launched on Galaxy 11, Transponder 13 and was added to Pod 14 of Comcast's Headend in the Sky (HITS). VTV fills the gap in youth programming between Nickelodeon (kids 3 to 12) and MTV (adults 18 to 34). The new network is co-founded by Joe Shults, a member of the executive team that launched MTV, Nickelodeon and VH1 as well as one of the original management members for E! Entertainment.

Hmm..judging from what I've seen of eMpTyV recently, it must mean IQ 18-34.

And ironically, I actually watch a lot of Nickelodeon and Nick at Nite [although having Cheers and Cosby on N@N really doesn't seem right to me; bring back the Bob Newhart Show and Mary Tyler Moore....and I never got over their taking Patty Duke off : (]
