[edit] History

CMT first went on the air sometime in the year 1993. It is one of the first television stations in Venezuela to broadcast on Ultra High Frequency or UHF (Globovisión also has always broadcasted on UHF, but it didn't come into existence until a year and a half after CMT). Unfortunately, CMT does not possess a wide network, nor a high quality of broadcasting, and since it is such a small channel when compared to other media moguls in the country, it is not even included in the channel roster of the vast majority of cable TV providers. They also lack a website, since the domain CMT has been put on sale a while back. CMT received the broadcasting rights for Miss Global Venezuela 2006 and Miss Global International 2006.

[edit] Controversies

CMT has been a critic of Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez and lately the government has kept a close watch on them along with the other private television channels in the country.
