MTV is a USA television channel.
Launched on August 1, 1981, MTV (Music Television) is a cable television channel that originally showed music videos 24 hours a day. It has since morphed into a youth-oriented entertainment channel 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 television channel is owned by Paramount Global.
