As a sub-brand of VOX, VOXup benefits from the brand recognition of its parent channel while offering a complementary schedule.

The channel operates in the competitive German free-to-air television market, where it competes with other niche and spin-off channels from major broadcasters.

VOXup was launched on 1 December 2019 as a spin-off channel of the German private broadcaster VOX, which is part of RTL Deutschland.

Later, a terrestrial broadcast slot was added via Freenet TV, expanding its reach to viewers using DVB-T2 HD.
