TV Nova and MTV Networks International (MTVNI), a division of Viacom Inc. (NYSE: VIA, VIA.B) announced that MTV Czech will begin broadcasting 29 November, 2009, available to both Czech and Slovak audiences via cable, satellite and IPTV platforms.

MTV is a leading multimedia brand for youth and MTV Czech will be offered as part of TV Nova's family of terrestrial and cable entertainment and thematic channels. Following Nova Cinema and Nova Sport, MTV Czech will become the third thematic channel in the family of TV Nova. MTV Czech is the 69th MTV channel to launch further expanding MTVNI's global network covering 162 countries.

The channel will be a fully localised service offering youth-oriented programming 24-hours a day drawing upon MTV's rich library of content showcasing a mixture of local and international music and long form programming from Nitro Circus to Cribs amongst other MTV favourites. A Czech language website - www.mtv.cz - will support the channel from launch.

Yes, they had about 10 VJs in the period between 2005 and 2007. Shows were hosted either in Slovenian or Serbo-Croatian. Some VJs still used to show up on some shows thoughout 2008. Later on, VJs were dropped and the channel began using English as its main language for ads and promos. Now it seems to have gone a bit more local again, however without VJs for now.
At least its schedule is AWESOME, though.
The cool chick who used to host Dancefloor Chart was Lana Borić from Croatia.

I hope at least MTV Czech will broadcast free to air on satellite like their Czech competitor Ocko on Astra @ 23° East. Who knows, it might still be watchable during its initial months. By the way, MTV Europe(an) used to be my favorite MTV too until some time ago, but I've realized that MTV Adria is so much better. Despite having launched 4 years ago, it hasn't lost the plot yet. On the contrary, it keeps getting better! It currently shows music 24 hours a day. I think it's the only MTV in the world that still does so. Besides, they have all the themed shows, including Party Zone, Chill Out Zone, Alternative Nation, Headbangers Ball, Rock Riff, Smells Like The 90s, Blok, Top 10 @ 10, Domaćica (for local videos) and so on.
This weekend they're having a CHILL OUT ZONE WEEKEND, with a whopping 13 HOURS of Chill Out Zone on at daytime. For the record, they had another COZ Weekend last month. You won't find any other MTV channel playing Future Sound Of London, Aphex Twin, Nebula II, The Orb and the likes AT DAYTIME.
As far as I'm concerned, MTV Adria beats MTV European 100:1 these days.

The czech people will see in time how much they miss mtv europe. the localised versions are crap and from what i see just scrap through the day playin reality crap.like mtv uk done here when it launched in 1997 it dropped all the original shows like partyzone alternative nation and so on. now today mtv uk just plays reality all day every day.but you have to realise these versions of new mtvs are just greed so they can have more advertising = more money which wont last long as people are aware of what has become of what was a music channel.i remember back in 1998 i got mtv nordic brilliant channel it had just launched it was a copy of mtve brilliant channel, then in 2005 they split it into norway, sweden, finland, denmark now they have to be one of the worst bunch of mtv's along with mtv uk. mtv europe should still be made available to all of europe as its main mtv with original programming and let the localised versions play homegrowin music reality and so on which would keep everyone happy. oh i would love a big job at mtv networks europe i would make big changes. it would be like the mtv e we grew up with.

Maybe the problem comes from MTV's crappy american reality shows that take so many hours from the programme in the local versions.Good way to get more viewers for MTVE is to make it free to watch online when it plays music or charts(please don't change them).I am very glad that here in Bulgaria there is no chance of a local MTV.And last but not least:ONE MTV is cheaper than so many:it's a crisis now you know.........

Poor Czech People. You will see very soon that MTV Europe is the best from all European MTV's and you'll be missing MTVE so much. I remember when on summer 2000 MTV Poland started and believe me - first months lots was great but year after year was getting worst. Everybody in Poland missed MTVE. Lenca2214, MTV Europe is the only one MTV who has got about 10 or more hour of music every day & charts. Day after day on Czech MTV music will be play only by night. I miss MTV Europe so much. But it doesn't change that MTV has to be ONE for Europe and as Tsetsi81said: "These new mtv's are crap". Czechy i wish you last 4 happy months with MTV Europe

I think that MTV should do just the opposite:to stop launching local channels and to make ONE MTV for all of Europe with at least 18 hours music and space for local programming.Who needs so many MTV channels?MTV was strong when was ONE!

its a shame MTV Europe keeps getting smaller and smaller. Its not surprising that the channel has gotten worse with more MTVs appearing everywhere
