History

  • On 1 October 2017, MTV Hits, MTV Dance and MTV Rocks ceased broadcasting in Benelux.[2]
  • A localized version of MTV Hits replaced MTV Brand New in Germany on 6 January 2021 and in the Netherlands on 1 February 2021.[3][4] This version shares the same schedule as the main channel, albeit one hour ahead. The standard MTV Hits channel is also available in Germany from local ISPs.
  • On 1 June 2021, the channel replaced MTV Music 24 in South Africa.[5] A year after transmission, it was announced that the channel would go off air in the region by 31 October 2022.[6]
  • On 1 July 2021, MTV Hits stopped broadcast in Russia and CIS Country's along with Club MTV and Spike Russia under the decision of the legal owner.[7]
  • On 1 August 2023, the channel replaced the Australian feed of MTV Hits.[8]

Format

MTV Hits is a non-advertisement channel, dedicated to worldwide songs from 10s era and beyond. Occasionally, in special segments, songs from 00s and earlier eras can also be seen. (Since February 2023, songs from the 00s have been appearing in several programs, e.g. Party Hits!)

Since VH1 Europe 's closure, MTV Hits began creating new segments - top 50, artists' greatest hits, programmes dedicated to the day/month's theme - to fit in for the previous programming of that channel.
