MTV (first era)[]

1997–2011[]

Between 2000 and 2001, MTV was acquired by TMC 2 (already acquired by Telecom Italia), becoming a standalone channel owned by MTV for 15 years.

2011–2015[]

MTV Next[]

2015–2016[]

On 31 July 2015, Sky Italia bought the free-to-air MTV channel, so the Viacom-owned MTV became a pay-TV channel and changed its name to MTV Next, to avoid confusion with the Italian MTV (now TV8). On 29 March 2016, the channel changed back to its original name.
