History

In the course of 2011 it became clear that MTV Benelux would cease TMF Nederland in the Netherlands replacing it by thematic channels of the MTV brand. The broadcast of TMF Nederland ended on September 1, 2011, except its digital channels, the broadcasts of its digital channels ended on December 31, 2011.[4] VJ's from TMF were transferred to MTV Netherlands. A non-stop music channel was introduced under the name of MTV Music 24 on September 1, 2011.[5] As a response of the increased competition from other music channels and online service and the main MTV brand had deviated from its original purpose.[6]

In March 2019, MTV Music 24 became available in South Africa[7] and on March 3, 2020 replaced MTV Music in Poland.[8]
