History
[edit]In February 2008, MTV condemned violent attacks in Lusignan and Bartica, aiming to hold a telethon for family members of the victims.[1]
The channel gained a license from the NFMU in October 2013.[2] In August 2014, Martin Goolsarran, formerly of NCN Television, joined MTV as a managing director.[3]
On August 31, 2017, MTV's transmitter was knocked down, under suspicions of sabotage. As a consequence of the act, MTV suspended all programs until further notice.[4] Broadcasts resumed on September 9, but at a limited capacity due to problems in sourcing the equipment. The transmitter was set to restore to its previous capacity by the end of the month.[5]
