As a result of CHUM acquiring MTV Canada and MTV2 in its purchase of Craig Media Inc. on December 1, 2004, that change of control gave MTV Networks International the right to terminate their joint venture and licensing agreements with CHUM for these channels.
PunchMuch is Canada’s first fully-automated all-request music video channel that puts viewers in control, allowing them to request videos via their wireless phones and the Internet.
Razer and PunchMuch will continue to air in the same package and on the same channel number as MTV and MTV2 respectively, so there is no need to make any changes to your package to receive either of these great services.
