MTV Flux is a television channel in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland that launched on September 6, 2006. The brand started as a website on 1 August. It has used bandwidth that was originally used to broadcast VH2.
The idea of the channel is to give viewers "control" by allowing them to send in video clips to the website and the TV channel if approved by the online community and (for television broadcast) MTV. The channel also shows music videos.
There are also MTV 'Flux' channels broadcasting in Italy and Japan[citation needed].
The MTV Flux website allows users to register and create a unique web page in the style of social networking sites like MySpace, usually http://www.mtv.co.uk/user/XXX. This page allows users create avatars and upload pictures and video.
The first show broadcast on MTV Flux was: Up, Up, Down, Down... (short for the complete Konami Code which serves as its full official title), an hour-long show, nominally about computer games interspersed with music videos and user-submitted content.
Other shows include: Flux Me I'm Famous: A mixture of shoutouts where members of the public throw to their own flux profiles and advertise themselves, user generated films and music videos.
Obsession Session: Dedicated fans tell all about themselves and the bands they adore.
POD stars: The zen den where celebrities hang out and do anything in the Flux POD, a blow up white tent. Followed by their music videos.
