Offering some of the best entertainment out there, MTV is the real OG. Launched in 1981 as a platform that aired music videos, a big deal at the time, it also featured shows hosted by video jockeys, or VJs, as they’re more commonly called, that brought its viewers the latest gossip from Hollywood. Of course, since then, programming has drastically changed.

As the pop scene evolved, MTV had to adapt its programming to keep up with the times. Today the network might still be targeting young adults like before but instead of music, the focus has shifted towards reality TV, which millions tune in to watch each day.

The most awaited event on the MTV network, however, still is the MTV Video Music Awards held each year. You’ll find the biggest celebrities walking the red carpet and given all the performances the show has lined up, you’ll be thoroughly entertained. People are known to clear their schedules and get together for the fun night MTV has to offer.

For new WOW! subscribers though, the only obstacle standing in your way of watching MTV is finding the channel. A tricky endeavor to be sure as familiarizing yourself with the system can take time. Till you’ve figured it all out, we thought to help you out by making a list of all channels numbers MTV is broadcasted on via WOW TV service. Hopefully, this will make the shift to your new TV service easier.

Why You Should Switch to WOW! TV

Switching to WOW TV is a no-brainer. With quality service and great channel lineups WOW easily tops the list of cable providers. You get a great selection of local channels, and add to that, access to premium channels like HBO, Showtime, Starz and Encore, or Cinemax for free with the WOW! Large TV plan.

What’s more, you don’t really have to subscribe to a traditional and premium cable TV plan to access sports and premium networks, you may now add these channels to your current plan for a small fee and start watching. For sports fans especially, this is a lifesaver. You can watch NFL Network, SEC Network, RedZone, Big Ten Network, and BTN2Go with ease.

That’s not all. The channels are available in SD and HD so, depending on the equipment you have, you can watch in either. Pretty cool, right? And, if you’re craving some cinematic classics, there’s a huge on-demand library for you to watch anytime you want. Just select the title you like and watch it on your TV. Or if you want flexibility and prefer to stream it on your mobile devices, you can!

Speaking of flexibility, you can record up to 6 shows at a time with WOW’s Ultra DVR. It just costs $20/mo. and makes a ton of difference in your viewing experience. So, what are you waiting for? Go ahead and subscribe to WOW TV. While you’re at it, bundle the service with WOW! Internet or home phone to get even greater discounts.  

MTV Channels & WOW TV Packages

WOW! TV is the best on the block, and with three packages to choose from, entertainment is 100% guaranteed. For those with simpler taste, WOW Small TV has all the basics you’ll ever need. For people that need more, Medium and Large TV plans have great lineups for you to peruse. Just check which of these offer access to your favorite networks and finalizing the plan should be easy enough.

For MTV fans that simply cannot do without the network though, there are only two options: Medium TV and Large TV. Only these carry the network in their lineups, and if you’re looking for the cheaper option, Medium TV is the way to go. Although, for best deals, you must bundle your services with an internet and/or phone plan. WOW! standalone cable TV service is far too expensive on its own than we’d like.

Must Watch MTV Shows

If you’re looking to relax, you best set your television to MTV and plop back. Offering some of the best reality TV hits, it can keep you entertained for hours on end.

Jersey Shore Family Vacation

Jersey Shore had us all hooked so it’s not surprising MTV is putting out a sequel to watch. In this series, however, instead of the original eight housemates, we get to see the seven of them vacationing. Needless to say, drama is at an all-time high, and with exotic places in the mix, it’ll be hard peeling your eyes off the screen.

Families of the Mafia

We all like to imagine ourselves as living on the edge and taking risks. This show lets you live out all such fantasies and skirt with danger without having to face any repercussions. Pretty cool, right?

Families of the Mafia follows the lives of former Mafia members, who are looking to secure a better life for their children. Of course, leaving the dangerous lifestyle isn’t easy and with names like Gambino, OTooles, LaRoccas, and Augustines involved, things will surely get heated.

The Hills: New Beginnings

If you loved The Hills, you’ll love this spinoff even more. The series is decidedly more authentic, but just as dramatic, a great combination for any reality show.

As the show reunites with old cast members, introducing us to their children and friends, it’s a treat to watch. Finally, the cast is settling into their adult lives and taking on responsibilities.

Catfish: The TV Show

The online world is a messy place, online dating even more so. You’d think you’ve come across the love of your life only to find out you’re living a lie and the person at the other end doesn’t even exist.

Catfish takes this problem head-on, helping some poor souls navigate through it all. The show follows people emotionally caught up with a person they’ve never met and helps them find closure by investigating whether the person they’re talking to is real or catfishing.

Nick Cannon Presents: Wild n Out

Looking for a good laugh? You simply must watch Wild n Out. The show features a slew of comedians divided into two teams, competing in improvising games. And at the end, they must use freestyle rap to deliver the punchline. The final round, WidStyle, is definitely not one to miss. 

The Challenge

This show is not for the faint-hearted. A spinoff of the much-loved Road rules and The Real World, this show is just as daring and adventurous. Contestants must compete in extreme challenges to avoid elimination and win the cash prize. From dangerous heights to creepy spiders to tight spaces, you’ll see your worst fear realized via these contestants.

Final Words
