MTV North

MTV North (Icelandic: MTV Norður; Greenlandic: MTV Avannarleq; Danish: MTV Nord) is a general entertainment channel broadcasting to the Greenlandic, Icelandic, and Danish speaking market. The channel replaced MTV Nordic on September 18, 2005.

History

 * MTV North launched in September 2005 along with MTV Finland, MTV Sweden, MTV Denmark, and MTV Norge. Before the start of country-specific channels, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and Finland had been served by a common channel called MTV Nordic, launched on June 5, 1998, which replaced the MTV Europe feed. Greenland and Iceland never had their own MTV channel.
 * MTV North's offices are based at MTV Networks International's Nordic offices in Stockholm with a local office in Reykjavik. The channel is broadcast from the MTV Networks Europe headquarters in London and Warsaw.
 * During the days of MTV Nordic, there was no official MTV channel broadcasting in Greenland or Iceland. With the start of MTV North, several Greenlandic and Icelandic language programmes were produced, including MTV News, MTV Festival Report, and Headbangers Ball.
 * Since the mid-2000s, MTV North has shared a similar schedule to its other European counterparts, featuring mainly reality based content from MTV US and very few music videos.
 * Since 2009, MTV North's localized content has been reduced. This is seen both on-air and online. It's website, mtvnorth.com, was previously available only in English. Now, it instead shows a homepage allowing users to instead visit a Greenlandic language website, an Icelandic language website, or a Danish language website. All programming is dubbed in English, Icelandic, and Danish. Greenlandic subtitles are provided for some shows. The channel shares schedules with MTV Denmark and MTV Sweden.
 * In February 2011, an HD widescreen version of MTV North was launched. The channel also became available 24/7 (it originally only broadcasted for 16 hours every day).
