CMT Europe was a European television channel. It was a European version of Country Music Television.
The channel started in 1992 and in September 1993 it launched on transponder 41 on
The Discovery Channel's daytime space and was on air from midnight until 4pm. The channel switched satellite position several times and was for a long time only available as a daytime service. It moved to transponder 24 on Astra 1B in September 1994, which allowed it to extend its broadcast hours until 7 p.m.[2][3][4]
It finally ended up on transponder 51 in 1996 and was then able to go 24 hours on Astra.
For cable networks, a 24-hour feed of CMT Europe was maintained on
The Box
at the start of September 1996.
The channel closed down on March 31, 1998 due to substantial losses.[6]
