Maps, Directions, and Place Reviews
Concept and expansion
MTV Dance originally started out as a night-time programming slot on the now defunct digital music channel MTV Extra.
On 3 September 2001, The strand expanded to become a standalone music channel broadcast on Sky in both the United Kingdom and Ireland, where it initially timeshared with Nick Jr. every evening between 19:00 and 06:00. The sharing of a stream subsequently ended; since 13 August 2002 MTV Dance has broadcast as a 24-hour music channel.
MTV Dance began broadcasting in widescreen on 6 March 2012.
Expansion around Europe
On 7 March 2008, MTV Dance increased its presence around Europe, when MTV Networks Europe replaced the Europe-wide feed of MTV Base with a similar feed of MTV Dance.
From 10 January 2011 a feed of the MTV Dance channel launched in Italy on Sky Italia, replacing MTV Pulse.
In 2014, MTV Dance, as well as MTV Rocks and MTV Hits started broadcasting European versions, without commercials or teleshopping.
Expansion into Australia and New Zealand
VIMN launched the channel in Australia and New Zealand on 3 December 2013. The channel replaced the Australian version of MTV Hits.
