AMTV - AMTV2

AMTV2

Sister network MTV2 debuted a similar program known as "AMTV2" AMTV2 first ran from 3AM-9AM Mondays-Thursdays. In the 8AM hour, AMTV2 previously ran a top 10 countdown much like AMTV does in the 7AM hour. These videos were limited to hip hop and rock genres.

As of 3/16/10, encore episodes of Sucker Free Daily aired at 8:30AM ET/PT, ending the top 10 countdown for that week. The top 10 has not returned in the final hour (8AM ET/PT) after Sucker Free Daily was moved to 7:30AM ET/PT.

As of the week of 1/17/11, AMTV2 ended at 7:30AM ET/PT and no longer resumed at 8AM ET/PT after Sucker Free Daily. The 8AM hour was sometimes used to air music specials such as Unplugged, World Stage, or other music related series.

At some point in early 2011, AMTV2's graphics changed to reflect the new name Morning Music Buzz, though the AMTV2 graphic "bug" remains on the screen. This block airs Mondays 3AM-8AM ET/PT, Tuesdays-Thursdays 3AM-8AM and Fridays 3AM-6AM ET/PT.

On 2/12/12, AMTV2 aired Sunday from 8AM-9AM, its only weekend airing. The hour block was dedicated to Whitney Houston videos, which came a day after the news broke of her sudden death. Earlier in the morning on 2/12/12, from 2AM-3AM ET, an hour long music block of Whitney Houston videos aired as well, which cut into the first hour of a re-airing of the film Bride of Chucky.
