MTV Jams
BET Jams is an American pay television network controlled by BET Networks and owned by Paramount Media Networks. The channel features hip-hop and urban contemporary music videos. The network, formerly known as MTV Jams, was rebranded under the BET banner on October 5, 2015. History MTV Jams (2002–15) The channel launched in 2002, replacing MTVX, a hard rock, and heavy metal music network which launched on August 1, 1998. The replacement of MTVX by MTV Jams was explained by the network as being based on demographic trends and industry data that there was a lower demand for a channel devoted to hard rock and heavy metal than there was for hip-hop, rap, and R&B (African-American genres); as a result, Viacom management made the decision to launch a new music video network over MTVX's channel space. The network's name was taken from a two-hour daily program block on MTV, called ''MTV Jams'', which ran from 1992 to 2000 and was also the general branding for urban music broadc ...
