MTV Brasil is the Brazilian version of MTV, owned by Abril, the nation's largest magazine publisher (70%), and by Viacom Networks Brasil, the Brazilian branch of Viacom-owned MTV Networks Latin America (30%).
MTV Brasil is one of two versions of MTV available in free-to-air terrestrial television. (The other being MTV Italy) However, it is also available on cable and satellite services.
MTV Brasil was launched on October 20, 1990, only to metropolitan São Paulo, through UHF channel A32 and metropolitan Rio de Janeiro, through VHF channel A9 (with TV Corcovado as an affiliate station). The first video shown was Garota de Ipanema, sung by Marina Lima.
In 1996, Viacom acquired 50% of the network, which was, until then, a wholly owned subsidiary of Abril.
In 2005, due to regulatory requirements that non-Brazilian companies can own only up to 30% of a terrestrial network, Abril acquired 20% of MTV Brasil from Viacom.
In late 2006 MTV Brazil released its broadband channel following the international model for the MTV Overdrive.
In December 2 2007, after the official start of commercial HDTV broadcasts in Brazil, MTV launched MTV HD, a simulcast of the main MTV service, featuring original high-definition series and MTV2's $2 Bill concerts. MTV HD is currently available over-the-air in São Paulo, and on cable, wherever Net Digital HD services are available and MTV is a must-carry station on cable. In January 2008, MTV changed its broadcast frequency in Rio de Janeiro from UHF channel 24 to 48. In 1 September 2008 starts transmitting on satellite Star One C2 (70°W South America coverage) by analog system(Pal-M), free-to-air frequency 4010H after many years(also 1992) encrypted. This is seen as a response to Net Brasil (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Organizações Globo that distributes channels to Net Serviços – and its affiliates – and Sky Brazil) dropping MTV from its systems, after disagreeing to MTV conditioning its carriage on cable and satellite to the carriage of Abril-owned channels Fiz and Ideal. MTV remains available on Net cable in markets where it's a must-carry station, for being a full-power broadcast station covering that market.
