History
Launch

Digiturk and MTVNI
MTV Turkey was removed from Digiturk on May 22 to 23, 2010 with no reason given to the customers, which caused a small controversy amongst customers.[1] On June 20, 2010, it was reported that MTV Networks International cancelled Multichannel Developers's (the company that operated MTV Turkiye) licence a month ago.[2] On the same day, MTV Turkiye's website closed with a text saying that their new site will be available as soon as possible. As of October 2010, the channel operates on cable TV (e.g. on D-Smart Ch. 63, see Digital television in Turkey) and free-to-air satellite.
The channel ceased broadcasting on August 31, 2011.
MTV Europe was aired instead of MTV Türkiye, on March 1, 2012 on channel 107 of the Digiturk platform.
