MTV Brasil is the Brazilian version of MTV, owned by Abril, the nation's largest magazine publisher (70%), and by Viacom Networks Brasil, the Brazilian branch of Viacom-owned MTV Networks Latin America (30%).
Unlike the American MTV, MTV Brasil is available in free-to-air terrestrial television in many large areas of the country, such as metropolitan City of São Paulo. However, it is also available on cable and satellite services.
MTV Brasil was launched on October 20, 1990, only to metropolitan São Paulo, through UHF channel 32 and metropolitan Rio de Janeiro, through UHF channel 24. The first video shown was Garota de Ipanema, sung by Marina Lima.
In 1996, Viacom acquired 50% of the network, which was, until then, a wholly owned subsidiary of Abril.
In 2005, due to regulatory requirements that non-Brazilian companies can own only up to 30% of a terrestrial network, Abril acquired 20% of MTV Brasil from Viacom.
In late 2006 MTV Brazil released its broadband channel following the international model for the MTV Overdrive.
In December 2 2007, after the official start of commercial HDTV broadcasts in Brazil, MTV launched MTV HD, a simulcast of the main MTV service, featuring original high-definition series and MTV2's $2 Bill concerts. MTV HD is currently available over-the-air in São Paulo, and on cable, wherever Net Digital HD services are available. In January 2008, MTV changed its broadcast frequency in Rio de Janeiro from UHF channel 24 to 48.
