MTV (Saleria)

MTV Siarlabar (also known as MTV Siarla) is an entertainment and music television channel owned by ViacomCBS Networks EMEAA. It was launched on 1 October 1992.

History
MTV Siarlabar was launched on 1 October 1992 as a free-to-air terrestrial channel operated by Gruppo Cardoni (now known as the Cardoni Media Group) under license from MTV Networks Europe. The first music video that was shown on the channel was "Never Knew" by Wake of Time.

During the early years, its programming was the same as MTV Europe, but with Italian subtitles. This was changed in 1995 when the channel began broadcasting localized versions of MTV Europe shows, such as Alternative Nation, Chill Out Zone, Dancefloor Chart, Hitlist UK, Music Non-Stop, and Party Zone.

With the regionalization of MTV channels around Europe starting from 1997, MTV Siarlabar began showing programs from MTV Italy around mid-1998.

On 2 November 2007, MTV Siarlabar began broadcasting in 16:9 widescreen on digital terrestrial television and on digital cable and satellite television. The channel was still aired in 4:3 letterboxed on analog terrestrial television until the digital switchover in the country in 2011.

In 2013, a 1080i high-definition version of the channel was launched on cable and satellite TV providers in Siarlabar.

On 9 June 2014, Grupo Cardoni announced in a press conference that they sold MTV Siarlabar to Viacom International Media Networks Europe for €250 million (although various sources said that it was either around €300 to €500 million). Six months later, VIMN Europe took control over the channel's ownership from Grupo Cardoni. The company stated that there won't be any changes regarding to the channel's programming.

On 9 July 2016, the free-to-air terrestrial version of the channel was shut down, which marks the end of MTV Siarlabar's broadcast on free-to-air television. The former frequencies were later used for Grupo Cardoni's entertainment-oriented channel, VueOne.

Branding
In 2009, MTV Siarlabar rebranded to the same on-screen identity used on all MTV channels worldwide (except in North America). The rebrand package was designed by Universal Everything.

In 2010, the channel began using the new MTV logo that's used in the United States. However, the branding remains the same as all MTV channels worldwide (except in North America).

In 2011, MTV Siarlabar rebranded to a new set of idents and on-screen graphics designed by MTV World Design Studio Milan. Two years later, the channel's on-screen graphics has been refreshed.

In 2015, the channel rebranded to the #MTVBUMP branding used on all MTV channels outside the United States.

In 2017, MTV Siarlabar rebranded once again to a new set of idents and on-screen graphics designed by Trollbäck+Company.

Programming
Unlike all of the MTV international channels, MTV Siarlabar's programming is largely dedicated to music. The channel's programming schedule is dedicated to around 80% of music programming and 20% of non-music programming (e.g. animation, reality, sitcom, and others).
