History

A local MTV Hungary was launched on 1 October 2007, replacing MTV Europe. [1] However, this was closed on December 1, 2013, with MTV Europe replacing MTV Hungary. [2]

On October 3, 2017, it was relaunched with the Hungarian block of music videos airing between 9:00 and 21:00, and the remainder was being taken over by MTV Europe programming. All programming on the MTV Europe block became available in either Hungarian subtitles or dubbing. [3]

From March 2020, for an unknown reason, the Hungarian programming block was controversially reduced to 4 hours between 17:00 to 21:00, then to 4 hours 15 minutes between 17:00 and 21:15. [4]

On February 17, 2021, further changes were made to MTV available in Hungary. Instead of the localized version of MTV Europe with Hungarian subtitles/advertising, the channel broadcasts MTV Poland with localized advertising and subtitles. A Hungarian music block takes place between 17:00 and 21:00 featuring content from MTV Hits, Club MTV and MTV's chart shows.

The channel was rebranded between 14 September and 1 October 2021.

From 1 October 2021, the Hungarian programming block was got longer broadcast time. On weekdays to 5 hours 25 minutes between 15:35 and 21:00. On weekends to 5 hours 50 minutes between 15:10 and 21:00. [5] [6]

On 31 March 2022, was shut down and replaced with MTV Global. [7]
