There was a strong focus on music content but gradually the channel began to air reality shows similar to other MTV channels.[1] The channel was launched in Portugal with the support of private broadcaster SIC as the broadcaster had a MTV branded block in the early 1990s. The channel is based at MTV Networks Europe in London and supported by a local office is Lisbon.

In Spring 2011, MTV Portugal began to air new localized programming. The current MTV Portugal VJs are Diogo, DJ Kaka, Luisa and Mc Creu.
