Programme format
Eclipse Music TV generally plays a top five countdown that consists of national and international video clips, requested by the viewers using SMS, as well as new releases and a classic clip. It also frequently has competitions such as mobile phones and DJ sets like Turntables as well as CD reviews, celebrity gossip and star interviews. While on the Seven Network, the show ran for 60 minutes, whereas on the Nine Network the run-time is shortened to a half-hour.
Sports broadcasts
When on the Seven Network due to the programs timeslot, it quite often got preempted for sports coverage such as Australian Open Tennis, AFL Finals, Bathurst 1000 and the Melbourne Cup carnival. When this happened, Eclipse Music TV wasn't seen at any time that week.
