MTV Max is aFinnishpay television channel owned and operated byMTV Oy. The channel started broadcasting in November 2006 and was originally dedicated to F1 coverage.
In November 2002,MTV3 announced the launch of a digital-only channel named MTV3+ focusing mobile games andsoap opera re-runs. They were granted a terrestrial mini-license and most of Finland's cable operators carried it.
The channel got a full license in January 2004 and with its possibilities,Formula 1, ice hockey'sSM-liiga,Finnish Floorball League, boxing, ski jumping, alpine skiing and some other sports broadcasts were added to the channel's programming. But at the same time, the channel partially turned into a pay-TV channel with a one-time fee of €20 (for Formula 1 & SM-liiga, there was also an extra fee of €70 each). MTV3 used the old mini-license of MTV3+ to create another channel, MTV3+ Extra, which showed overtime periods ofSM-liiga matches.
The channel did not focus solely on sports: movies, court sessions and live coverage of reality series were added, while the most notable broadcast was theTony Halme drug trial in 2004.
On 1 November 2006, 4 years from the channel's beginning, MTV3+ was quit with a very small notice of 28 hours. The channel got replaced by four new pay-TV channels, MTV3 MAX,MTV3 Fakta,Sub Leffa andSub Juniori.
