MTV Live (formerly known as MTVNHD and MTV Live HD) is the international version of the American TV channel MTV Live as 24-hour high-definition live music pay television network owned by Paramount International Networks subsidiary Paramount Networks EMEAA.[1]

Overview

[edit]

MTV Live, the first ever international HD service dedicated to music videos, offers a mix of programming from MTV Europe. MTV Live is operated by MTVNI's Emerging Markets group, who produce and broadcast the channel from its Warsaw hub until 22 April 2012 when the station was moved to 17-29 Hawley Crescent NW1 8TT London, United Kingdom was were MTV Live HD.[2][3] was launched. The English-language service also features original and acquired shows, and programming from MTVNI's library.

The channel's mix of programming includes shows produced by other international MTV production units in Southern Europe, the UK and Latin America.[2] From the beginning the channels' programming schedules were split into two blocks - MTV HD and Nickelodeon HD, but from October through December 2010 the channel only aired music related programs; it restarted airing Nickelodeon shows at the weekends but earlier in the morning. From July 1, 2011, the channel began to focus primarily on live music programming.

History

[edit]

The channel was launched on 15 September 2008, in some parts of Europe as MTVNHD (MTV-Nickelodeon HD)[4] and in Latin America by the end of 2008.[5] The channel continued to launch in new countries throughout 2010, including Australia where it first became available in standard-definition.

On 1 July 2011, MTVNHD was renamed to MTV Live HD and introduced a new logo as part of a global rebrand.[6] However, in the UK and Ireland, the channel remained as MTVNHD. In Australia, MTVN was rebranded as MTV Live.

On 23 April 2012, MTVNHD rebranded to MTV Live HD in the UK and Ireland. A standard-definition feed was also launched.[7]

On 9 April 2013, MTV Live HD ceased broadcasting in France after the other French MTV channels launched their own HD feeds.

On 1 October 2013, MTV Live HD and MTV Live both launched a new logo as part of a global rebrand.

On 3 November 2013, MTV Live and MTV Live HD ceased broadcasting on Foxtel's service in Australia.[8]

On 2 March 2014, MTV Live HD launched on Taiwan CHT MOD. On 24 October that same year, it launched on UPC Romania.

As a result of the suspension of regular programming on all of MTV's music channels in the United Kingdom (in which MTV Live is broadcasting from) on two music video programs were created in order to fill the gap, one being "Programming Pause" (which it was broadcast from 8 September 2022 at 22:55 until 9 September 2022 at 12:30 BST) and the other being "Nothing but Music" (which it was broadcast from 9 September 2022 at 15:00 BST until 13 September 2022 at 02:00 BST). Both of these programs play laid back and sombre music videos.
