(SBS Media Holdings) SBS MTV (2011–2022) (as MTV Korea) (Korea region only) SBS M was a South Korean pay television music channel owned by SBS Medianet, a division of SBS Media Holdings. It features South Korean pop artists, international music, news, and a few reality and variety programs.
It was launched in 2001 as the South Korean version of the MTV. In 2011, it came under the SBS Paramount unit, a joint venture of SBS Medianet and Paramount Networks EMEAA and became SBS MTV. In June 2022, SBS and Paramount ceased their joint-venture, and the channel was renamed as SBS M. During its run as SBS MTV, it carried programs originally from the American MTV, along with a few Asian programs of its MTV Asian counterparts.
History
From 1994 to 1999, MTV, through a partnership deal, showed programs on the CheilJedang group's Mnet network.
In January 2001, the MTV block returned on OnGameNet, then owned by Orion Group's On-Media.
In July 2001, On-Media and Viacom launched MTV Korea. Their partnership ended in 2008.
In 2008, MTV Korea was acquired by C&M.
In September 2011, SBS, a South Korean commercial broadcaster, became the official South Korean partner of Viacom (now re-merged with CBS Corporation to form ViacomCBS in 2019, now Paramount Global). With this, MTV became a part of SBS, and renamed SBS MTV in November 2011.
On June 30, 2022, the channel was renamed as SBS M with the departure of Paramount Global content to partnered streaming service TVING, with the domestic version of Nickelodeon also rebranded as KiZmom.
On May 14, 2025, the channel ceased its broadcasting, and the last programme to be aired is "THE SHOW". Some of its daily programmes was transferred to SBS F!L.
