  MTV2
MTV2 is a cable network that is widely available in the United States on digital cable and satellite television, and is progressively being added to basic cable lineups across the nation.

As mentioned, MTV2 UK's flagship programme is Gonzo, the only MTV2 show to have a VJ, and the channel concentrates on providing a place for upcoming artists in the areas of rock, punk, indie, metal and similar genres, as well as space for shows such as Beavis and Butthead.

 MTV2 Europe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
So whilst in the US MTV2 is a varied, slightly alternative channel, in the UK MTV2 is dedicated exclusively to alternative rock; with other music output carried on MTV Base, MTV Dance, MTV Hits covering urban music (hip hop, rap, RandB and garage), dance (and its associated sub-genres), and chart music respectively.
At its initial launch, as M2 (the channel changed its name to MTV2 in 2000), the European version was very similar to the U.S. channel, taking the same music policy, VJ segments and on-screen presentation.
There was however the exception of a newer, but now defunct, separate German MTV2, broadcast from Berlin, which bizarrely broadcast the same pop music formula as its original German MTV counterpart.

 MTV2, Sprite Pact on "Advertainment"
Six months into its extensive rebranding campaign, MTV2 is celebrating the rewards it has reaped with its new look and feel with a pair of “advertainment/entertisement” spots that wed the network’s hipster image with young-skewing ad partner Sprite.
Tina Exarhos, executive vp of marketing, MTV and MTV2, said the spots mesh both brands together in order to appeal to MTV2’s “hip-hop credibility.” Over the course of the past few years, the network has evolved from a showcase for alternative music to a home base for hip-hop.
Since MTV2 relaunched on Super Sunday 2005, the net’s audience has grown significantly, nailing down its highest rated second quarter in channel history among P12-34s and scoring the highest concentration of young males in the 12-24 demo in all of television, with 32 percent of its viewers falling into the category.
