MTV Nordic was a 24-hourEnglish-languageNordiccabletelevision network owned byViacomCBS Networks EMEAA that was active from 5 June 1998 to 1 February 2021.
Between 1998 and 2006, MTV Nordic served the majority of European territories that did not have their own localized MTV channel under the brandingMTV Europe & Nordic. The majority of programming was hosted by presenters from the Nordic countries, mainly Sweden, Denmark and Norway. Additionalvideo jockeys came from Israel, United States, Ireland and the United Kingdom. The channel gradually began to localize in May 2005 with the launch ofMTV Denmark and in September 2005, the launch ofMTV Sweden,MTV Norway andMTV Finland, which resulted in the MTV Nordic ceasing as a brand.
On 22 February 2019, the local MTV channels for the Nordic region were replaced by the relaunch ofMTV Nordic which features no advertising or sponsorships.[1] Despite this, separate social media accounts and websites still exist for the local languages.
In early 2020, MTV Nordic as a branding began to reappear on MTV's social media sites within the Nordic region.[2]
On 1 February 2021, MTV Nordic was replaced with MTV Europe (nowMTV Global).[3]
