Vice originally operated under the creative direction of film director Spike Jonze, and had a focus on lifestyle-oriented documentary and reality series aimed towards millennials; including both new original series, and adaptations and reruns of existing Vice web series. Due to low ratings, Vice would eventually engage in channel drift; shifting its focus to news and investigative programming.[1] The channel adopted its current name on December 2, 2019.[2]
As of November 2023[update], Vice TV is available to approximately 45,000,000 pay television households in the United States-down from its 2015 peak of 74,000,000 households.[3]
