[edit] MTV Ireland - Merger Proposal

Why has this article been renamed to MTV UK & Ireland? This therefore means that MTV Ireland should be deleted.

I don't think it should be deleted, but it could be merged. The MTV Ireland external link on that page just redirects to MTV UK now anyway. --tgheretford (talk) 07:31, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Not much to merge - MTV seemed to be thinking of a more major Irish opt-out, gave away the 'chance to present on mtv ireland' on something (might have been Ballygowan water bottles if my memory serves me]] in 2002 or so, etc. But in reality, its a seperate satellite stream with Irish adverts. Nothing else. E4, Paramount, a number of the Sky channels, etc have this too. Definately doesn't need its own article, and if MTV -do- introduce Irish regional content, it can be recreated. --Kiand 07:36, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article Clean-up

This article does not describe MTV UK. It goes into a tangent on TMF. It is suggested that this be revised by someone more familiar with MTV UK, as I am not from the United Kingdom, and could not accurately change this mistake. D2001dstanley 23:37, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

OK - Have got rid of all the TMF UK stuff. I would be grateful if someone with knowledge about the history and beginnings MTV UK could update the article, just to 'get things going.' After a bit of info is added about the history, then I could add more about it's position and shows today.
