About Mtv
MTV was established in 1991 as a TV channel that sought to cater to the complexity and richness of its Lebanese viewers’ identity by creating a balanced mix of local, Arab, and western media content, with a special emphasis on producing local programming that is tailored to its audience and reflects their aspirations and values.
In addition to its unique approach to programming, MTV also led the way in terms of its adoption of self-regulation and a clear code of ethics, in a country where the media sector is completely unregulated, thus becoming the first station to abide by international best practices while legally acquiring foreign formats and rights-to-air.

History
Originally launched in 1991, Murr Television had been closed down by force on 4 September 2002 by the Lebanese authorities after the station was convicted, together with Mount Lebanon Radio Station, of breaking article 68 of the electoral law which bans electioneering ads on TV airwaves. Murr Television and Mount Lebanon Radio Station were both owned by anti-Syrian politician Gabriel Murr at the time. On 7 April 2009, after nearly seven years of forced shutdown, the channel was relaunched with the intention of becoming a politically neutral station, according to CEO Michel Gabriel Murr.
