History

[edit]
  • The channel started in May 2005 as part of MTV's expansion into the Nordic region, which followed with launches of MTV Finland, MTV Sweden, and MTV Norway in September 2005. Before the start of country-specific channels, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and Finland had been served by a common channel called MTV Nordic, launched on 5 June 1998 to replace the MTV Europe feed.
  • The channel was broadcast from the MTV Networks Europe headquarters in London, along with other MTV channels i.e. MTV Sweden. As of 2011, MTV Denmark is broadcast from its operations in Stockholm.
  • On February 22, 2019, the local MTV channels for the Nordic region were replaced by the relaunch of MTV Nordic which features no advertising or sponsorships.[1] Despite this, separate websites still exist for the local languages.
