THE MTV SHOW

The MTV Show continues to remain close to its socially active audiences through social engagement, allowing viewers to shape and determine the type of music and lifestyle content that is aired. Through its social channels Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube, fans can share and discuss the show, and access additional content such as sneak peeks and behind-the-scenes videos.

Besides the return of the popular Instagram music video request segment using the hashtag #themtvshow, fans can expect even more audience interactivity with new segments We-View and X OF THE WEEK. We-Viewcovers reviews and previews of new music videos, and the VJs’ explorations of up-and-coming artists, products, food spots and cool hangouts. Additionally, X OF THE WEEK presents a trending topic or theme for the week, derived from the social sphere such as “Cringe of the Week,” “Prank of the Week” and “Time-Killer of the Week”.
