MTV Extra

Regionalization of MTV was a real disappointment for me. The advent of MTV UK and Ireland meant that the variety of music played was significantly reduced. Feel the same? Well now you have MTV Extra - although not a patch on MTV Europe that we used to have in the good old days, this channel offers much more variety than MTV. Aimed at the pop music listeners, this channel is constant music (except for ad breaks) so no annoying VJ's who want to share their opinion on music with you at every opportunity.

MTV Extra is MTV’s second channel but unlike MTV it shows music videos non-stop apart from the occasional ad break. It has 2 main programs, which are PURE MUSIC by day and DANCE by night.

MTV extra is the channel you get on Sky digital until recently it was a complete waste of time. It has a dramatic change and in my opinion is now a much better channel than MTV. Throughout the day and the evening you now get Mtv Pure Music and it is just that all the latest hits till around 11Pm and the it usually goes to MTV Dance. I have noticed that some videos tend to be shown quite a lot on this channel Steps for one. I like steps so this suits me just fine. The music ranges from Steps to Oasis. If you get the chance check out this channel its on 441 on Sky digital. ...  Read the complete review
