joint venture
of

From 1994 to 1999, MTV, through a partnership deal, showed programs on

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.
