MTV is an Indian pay television channel specialising in music, reality and youth culture programming. It was launched in 1996 as the Indian version of the original American network and is owned by Viacom18, under a license agreement with Paramount Networks EMEAA and operated by Disney Star. Most of the programming on the channel is produced in Hindi.[2] MTV India has its headquarters in Vile Parle in Mumbai.[citation needed]

[edit]

In 2014, Viacom 18 launched Pepsi MTV Indies, an indie music and subculture channel in partnership with Pepsi Co.[3]

In 2016, MTV Indies was replaced by MTV Beats, a 24-hour music-only channel. After its launch, MTV India changed its focus on broadcasting reality series.[4]

VH1 India airs the international productions of MTV instead of airing them on MTV India, along with international music.
