Murr Television (marketed and widely known as MTV Lebanon) is a Lebanese television station based in Naccache, Metn District. MTV was founded by Gabriel Murr, its chairman and CEO to date.

History

MTV first opened in October 1991.[1] It was closed down on 4 September 2002 by the Lebanese government due to its criticisms of then-President Emile Lahoud.[2] In 2009 it re-opened, three years after Syrian forces left Lebanon.[1]
