History
Michel Gabriel El Murr, CEO, son of Gabriel Murr

MTV was established in 1991[3] as a TV channel that sought to combine local, Arab, and western media content, with emphasis on producing local programming.

In November 1994, MTV became involved in the political scene,[4] launching its local news broadcasts along with a number of political and socio-economic shows.

In 2002, the government, engaged in an unlawful process, arbitrarily shut MTV down indefinitely for political reasons. Despite being shut down, MTV’s spirit bloomed and it became the symbol of change and freedom, building its equity as the true voice of truth and free will.

On August 16, 2005, the Lebanese Parliament voted unanimously for the amendment of the Electoral Law, after which the rights of MTV were re-instituted[5] along with the public.

In 2009, MTV had re-launched.[6][7]

MTV is the pioneer leading website in Lebanon amid news portals and broadcasters. The website is a combination of news and TV shows. Moreover, it provides many other services for instance "Live Streaming". It works on mobile devices, tablets and desktops. MTV has won several trophies over the past years. The most fundamental ones are the Golden Award from "Pan Arab Web Awards"[28] for the best strategic TV portal among all TVs and media in Lebanon. And it has recently merited the Diamond Award[28][29] for "the superlative application of the year" amongst all industries in the MENA region."
