MTV Southeast Asia was launched on 5 May 1995 at 8:00 pm Singaporean time as a 24-hour English-language music channel broadcast from Singapore seen throughout Southeast Asia in territories including Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore. At the same time, MTV Southeast Asia along with sister channel MTV Indonesia was officially launched on the Palapa C2 digital satellite. The channel originally planned to launch in the last quarter of 1994.
Based at Shenton Way, the channel was a joint venture with Polygram. At launch, the channel had 31 advertisers with its Mandarin counterpart 16, bringing in revenues of "hundreds of thousands".
As of 1997, MTV Southeast Asia had 30 veejays and planned to increase the number of veejays.
From 1 May 2021 until 1 September 2022, MTV Southeast Asia shortened its broadcast of programs to 8 hours (4:00 pm to 12:00 mn (SGT)) to simulcast programs from sister channel MTV Live from 12:00 mn to 4:00 pm (SGT)) daily as MTV Southeast Asia focused on more music content with less entertainment programming on its schedule.
