Viva
VIVA was first aired in December 1993 as a German music television show. Years later, several music labels gathered together and invested in Viva, bringing it to the UK  after becoming frustrated with MTV's power over the music video world.
VIVA has become increasingly popular from its immediate success and exposes all types of artists, giving a promotional base for their music.
In January 2005, MTV finally acquired VIVA after it had tried all efforts to improve its ratings. MTV now opp orates VIVA all across Europe
