History
The start of interactive television (2003–2004)
In 2003, a Finnish multimedia corporation called ''Vizor Media Ltd.'' bid for a station in the digital terrestrial television network with a winning bid, putting aside bids from six other companies (including the country's largest media groups

). After winning the auction for the channel space, Vizor announced it would launch its station some time during 2004. Later that year they announced the name and the profile of the channel: ''Vitonen'' was due to become Finland's first cross media channel, widely utilizing the benefits of wireless technology and allowing viewers to participate in the broadcasts online, with their mobile phones and later, with the
red button of one's set-top box (of which the latter never happened on this particular station). Regional broadcasts were also commenced to market products and services locally and more cost-efficiently. Test broadcasts were launched in December 2003 in the

. Previously that year various private companies also took part in an auction for the contract to provide red button services for Vitonen. The winning bidder, ''Icareus Ltd.'', started MHP tests in Otaniemi simultaneously with the DVB-T tests in co-operation with VTT.
The tests took three months to complete and on 12 March 2004 at 5:00 pm, the channel finally launched itself into the televisions of the digital nation on DTT channel 15. Note that at the final weeks preceding the launch, the name of the channel was simplified from Vitonen to ''Viisi'' The launch was preceded by a 10-hour countdown accompanied with white noise from 7:00 am that morning until the final hour – much like the launch of British digital station

The first program officially transmitted on Viisi was an edition of the channel's music program ''Rumba.tv'' spanning the whole launch night. Its first months' programming consisted of interactive programs, music videos, movie/music/media magazines, low-budget import shows, teleshopping, infomercials and (mainly regional) chat shows.

The co-operation included simulcasting SBS-owned radio station Kiss FM's morning show ''Aamutiimi'' daily from 5 am onwards until the beginning of actual programs. SBS also handled the selling of Viisi's advertising time on behalf of Vizor. In August 2004, SBS, which already owned multiple radio stations in Finland and other Nordic countries, announced it would expand its services to television by buying Viisi from Vizor Media. After buying the channel, the new owner rebranded it as a 24/7 music-oriented station called ''The Voice'', launching the new brand on 11 November 2004.

At first it only showed a mix of music videos and adverts, but five months after the launch, in February 2005, hosts appeared on the channel for the first time as well as did topical magazines. It aimed to be a largely influential party in the Finnish youth culture and it also aimed to be its mouthpiece by broadcasting programming for the youth, made by the youth – a thing no other channel in the country had ever done before. Initially covering only southern and western parts of the country, it grew to be a national station in a very small period of time. It went on to be one of the most popular digital channels in the country.

, completing the so-called triangle of SBS' media platforms in Finland. According to SBS, "having a television channel, a radio station and a comprehensive website had a positive effect on the usage of all services". This includes television, which drew many new viewers to The Voice TV thanks to the co-branding. The effectiveness of the co-branding is debatable due to the fact that another SBS-owned radio station,
Radio City, lost its broadcast license in the 2006 bid. The station was very much loved and topped the listening charts of the Helsinki area for many months of its last year on air – some shows of the station were even simulcasted on The Voice TV. After the ending of Radio City, only occasional listeners found their way to Kiss FM, which overall weakened SBS' foothold on Finnish radio. Nevertheless, The Voice kept going strong as a multimedia brand and got more television viewers than ever.

These means included turning the channels free-to-air for a few weekends each year, allowing the free viewers to get a glimpse of what Canal+ had to offer. After a while SBS realized that their message didn't necessarily get to all viewers and being desperate to get subscriber figures up, they decided to utilize their free-to-air channels for promoting purposes. In Finland, Canal+ had the exclusive rights to

and their only free-to-air television channel in the country at the time was The Voice. Sports didn't suite the channel profile well, so they decided to launch a general entertainment block called ''TV Viisi'', showing cost-effective import programmes amongst sports and selected movies from the ''Canal+ Film'' line up.

The viewer record was only broken by another football qualifier on TV Viisi between Finland and Russia on 10 June 2009, when 286,000 viewers were watching the game.
TV Viisi's entertainment block was originally transmitted from 8 pm to 11 pm with The Voice covering the rest of the hours, but in the beginning of 2009 the hours were extended to five with programs starting at 6 pm. The changes in the schedule woke large amounts of hatred among the loyal viewers of The Voice, who found music videos a great alternative to the prime time line-ups of other channels. The viewership decreased drastically during the first year of the new arrangement, when over half of the viewers left. Journalist
Tuomas Enbuske
Tuomas Ville Juhana Enbuske (born 22 September 1977) is a Finnish radio and TV presenter and journalist.
Enbuske hosted Kiss FM's morning program with Henkka Hyppönen, and was a presenter in the television series ''Far Out'', ''Hyppönen Enbus ...
claimed in his show, ''"Incorrect, Tuomas Enbuske!"'', that "TV Viisi was the creation of a dumbed-down channel boss who has most likely spent his whole life digging his nose and eating all the snot that comes out". Even though he made a heavy attack against the channel, Enbuske later went on to present his own self-titled talk show on TV Viisi in 2012.
The channel place stayed shared between the two blocks for a couple of years and among all the hatred rose a new community of viewers increasing the viewer figures of TV Viisi almost back to the levels of The Voice's heyday. The same arrangement continued all the way until 1 April 2011, when TV Viisi moved to its own channel and The Voice turned back into a
24-hour music video station. Even with The Voice reverting to its original profile, TV Viisi also started its own music block broadcast outside regular hours, called ''The Voice 5''. The change was welcomed back by The Voice's former loyal viewers, but TV Viisi kept growing faster than any other television channel in Finland when The Voice's viewing figures returned to the days when The Voice/TV Viisi combination hit the rock bottom. The Voice stayed as a 24-hour music channel for the rest of the year, but in January 2012 it started another comedy block in prime time showing classic comedy shows like

, but this time retaining its own identity for the time being.
The sixth alternative gets on board (2012–)
SBS, yet again desperate to get viewing figures up, tried to broaden the target audience of The Voice with a prime time comedy block ''Me rakastamme komediaa'' (''We love comedy''), but it didn't respond too well with the viewers. The nation had been craving for a
24-hour music video station also broadcasting music in prime time for the last three years and when The Voice was finally reverted to a music-only station in 2011, the joy didn't last for long. Viewers were again left unsatisfied. SBS did not yield to the viewer's will but instead kept on promoting the comedy block and even extending its hours. The Voice was no more the same channel in the eyes of the viewers and a rebrand was known to be only a matter of time. When the name change to ''Kutonen'' and changing the profile to focus on men was announced only 15 days before change was due to happen in August 2012, there was little to none opposition found anywhere. The Voice stayed as an independent brand broadcasting outside regular hours on both TV Viisi and Kutonen, but changed its music profile to pop and rap music only.
