MTV

MTV is a USA TV network covering Music.

Launched on August 1, 1981, MTV (Music Television) is a cable television network that originally showed music videos 24 hours a day. It has since morphed into a youth-oriented entertainment network showing original programs, reality TV series, movies and concerts along with some music videos. In the early days, MTV had on-air hosts called VJs (video jockeys) and the service was promoted with the tag line "I Want My MTV."

It is one of the worst American media outlets, according to Mondo Times members.

This TV network is owned by Viacom Inc..
