 | | 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. |
