MTV En Español is a Spanish-language version of the cable television channel MTV, designed to appeal to Hispanic audiences with material such as music videos in Spanish.
Programming
During its beginnings, the channel's programming was like that of MTV2 in its early days, with 8-hour blocks of videos which repeated 3 times a day. During those times, the videos shown were those of popular Spanish-speaking artists in the United States, including salsa, reggaeton, and hip-hop, with small amounts of latin rock and pop. Late in 2005, however, the channel's programming underwent serious changes. First, it started to broadcast music videos in English, most notably pop and hip-hop videos. During that time, the channel also began to show its own Top 20 Countdown on Saturdays and Sundays. Later on, Mtv en Español would drop the 8-hour blocks of videos for a random rotation of videos for the whole day. Later on, trying to please its viewers, the channel decided to reserve a 3-hour block for the less-rotated rock en español videos from the past and present on MTV Latin America. Another trait of this channel is its custom of broadcasting shows like Making the Video or shows originally broadcasted by MTV Latin America at random times of the day with no warning. In early 2006 it was announced that MTV en ESpanol would change its name to MTV TR3S and become a bilingual music channel starting september 2006 after the network bought a relatively little watched music network based in mexico city.External links
