Change in format

MTV Networks Europe originally launched separate MTV channels in Lithuania (MTV Lietuva) and Latvia (MTV Latvija) in September 2006. Both channels offered a mixture of local and international content. Due to the global recession and its impact on Latvia, MTV Networks Baltic merged both channels to form MTV Lietuva & Latvija, and this channel was supposed to operate until the economic crisis is rectified. But unfortunately MTV Lietuva & Latvija and MTV Estonia ceased operations on November 19, 2009 and have been replaced by the original

channel.
