Viacom International Media Networks will launch time-shift channel MTV+ in Germany on November 1, 2018, showing the programmes of MTV one hour later.
MTV+ will air daily between 20.15 and 05.00 CET on the channel slot of free-to-air children’s channel Nick, replacing programme window Nicknight.
Nicknight started four years ago with a mix of music blocks such as Retrobeat and Nicknight Chartcheck, MTV content and selected programmes from US sister channel Nick@Nite.
According to Viacom, the decision to fully replace Nicknight with MTV content was based on a concentration on core brands.
