MTV Music (UK & Ireland)

MTV Music is a non stop music entertainment channel operated by MTV Networks International (Europe).

MTV Networks International announced the introduction of a non-stop music channel. As the main MTV brand has deviated from its original purpose and increased competition from other music channels and online services, MTV addressed this issue by launching a new music channel MTV Music. The channel launched on 1 February 2011 in the United Kingdom and Ireland.^[1] The channel replaced MTV Shows. On the date of MTV Shows' closure and MTV Music's launch, MTV UK moved up the Sky programme guide from its long-held berth at the head of the Music section to the Entertainment guide; in return the MTV Shows broadcast capacity moved down from the Entertainment section to take the place of MTV in the Music guide, becoming MTV Music.

The MTV Music channel launched in Italy on 1 March 2011,^[2] replacing MTV+.^[3] The channel is also available in The Netherlands, Belgium and Switzerland.
