MTV (Latin America)

MTV is a Latin American pay televisionnetwork that was launched on October 1, 1993, as the Hispanic American counterpart of the American channel MTV. It is owned by Paramount Networks Americas, a subsidiary of Paramount Skydance.

The channel broadcasts music videos as well as reality series, scripted programming, and films, many of which are directly or indirectly related to music and youth culture. Its programming has historically focused on various musical genres, including pop, rock, reggaeton, hip-hop, trap, electronic music, and K-pop. MTV Latin America is headquartered in Miami Beach, Florida, and operates regional production centers in Mexico City and Buenos Aires.

The network has produced localized versions of several MTV reality programs, such as Acapulco Shore. Unlike its U.S. counterpart, profanity is generally not censored in most Latin American countries, particularly during watershed hours. The first music video broadcast on the channel was "We Are Sudamerican Rockers" by the Chilean band Los Prisioneros.
