MTV Central

Encyclopedia : M : MT : MTV : MTV Central


MTV Central, also regularly called MTV Germany, is a regional version of MTV for the German-speaking countries of Central Europe - Germany, Austria, Switzerland. It split from the single European, English language MTV Europe on March 7 1997 as a response to the new German music station, VIVA, which was then a separate company.

The channel, which is based in Berlin, is the only remaining MTV transmitted by analogue satellite in Europe, and one of only three transmitted on free-to-air digital services throughout the continent.

MTV Central is also the name of an MTV channel broadcasting throughout much of South America.
