On 15 January 2005, Global TV began to difersify its programming beyond MTV by adding some soap operas, news, talk shows, sports and other shows for 12 hours, after an agreement with MTV to broadcast their programs for 12 hours. One year later, Global TV and MTV Networks International began a partnership to broadcast Nickelodeon shows, which previously aired on Lativi.
