MUMBAI: MTV Networks International's (MTVNI) emerging markets group and Central European Media Enterprises Ltd. (CME), the television broadcaster in Central and Eastern Europe, have signed a multi-year licensing agreement granting rights to CME subsidiary PRO TV to operate MTV's localized channel in Romania.

MTVNI emerging markets MD and senior vice president Bhavneet Singh commented, "The PRO TV family of channels is at the very top of their game in Romania and will help us take MTV Romania to the next level. Together with PRO TV, we can't wait to give our Romanian audiences a more dynamic, exciting and trendsetting content."

"We welcome MTV to the PRO TV family. MTV Romania will be a great complement to our existing portfolio of channels, giving our viewers and advertisers an even more complete media offering," said PRO TV CEO Costi Mocanu.

MTV Romania will continue to operate as a fully localized, 24-hour youth lifestyle channel. The channel, which was launched in 2002, claims to have a reach of 10.5 million.

MTV Romania features Romanian adaptations of Total Request Live, Hitlist Romania and Dance Floor Chart along with other international programmes such as Pimp My Ride, Punk'd, Boiling Point and Beavis and Butthead.
MTV Romania will join PRO TV's family of terrestrial and cable entertainment and thematic channels, which reach 82 per cent of Romania's 21.6 million viewers.
