Myx TV (pronounced as /ˈmɪks/; formerly branded simply as Myx, and stylized as myx TV) is an American cable television network based in Glendale, California. It was launched in 2007 and is available nationwide in major cities, including New York City, Los Angeles, Honolulu,[1][2] Chicago and Seattle.[3] Myx TV was originally targeted to the Asian American youth community with music video as its primary content. However, in 2011, it was reformatted to become a general entertainment channel targeted to the Asian diaspora in United States.
