MTV Finland was a music and entertainment channel broadcasting to the Finnish market.

The channel replacedMTV Nordic on September 18, 2005; however, on February 22, 2019, it was replaced by the return ofMTV Nordic.

• MTV Finland launched in September 2005 along withMTV Sweden andMTV Norge. Before the start of country-specific channels, Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland had been served by a common channel calledMTV Nordic, launched on June 5, 1998, which replaced theMTV Europe feed.
• MTV Finland's offices are based atMTV Networks International's Nordic offices inStockholm with a local office in Helsinki.^[1] The channel is broadcast from theMTV Networks Europe headquarters in London and Warsaw.
• During the days of MTV Nordic, languages other than English were rarely spoken on MTV in Finland. With the start of MTV Finland, severalFinnish-language programmes were produced, for exampleMTV News,Axl Meets,MTV Festival Report andHeadbangers Ball, all hosted by MTV VJAxl Smith.
• Since the mid-2000s MTV Finland shares a similar schedule to its other European counterparts, featuring mainly reality-based content fromMTV US and very few music videos.
• Since 2009, MTV Finland's localized content has been reduced; this is seen both on-air and on-line. Its websitemusictelevision.fi is entirely in English where previously it was available in Finnish. All programming is in English with Finnish subtitles, with the exception of locally produced programming and local advertising.
• On February 22, 2019, the local MTV channels for the Nordic region were replaced by the relaunch ofMTV Nordic which features no advertising or sponsorships.^[2] Despite this, separate websites still exist for the local languages.
