MTV Flux is a television channel in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland that launched on September 6, 2006. The brand started as a website on 1 August. It has used bandwidth that was originally used to broadcast VH2.
The idea of the channel is to give viewers "control" by allowing them to send in video clips to the website and the TV channel if approved by the online community and (for television broadcast) MTV. The channel also shows music videos.
There are also MTV 'Flux' channels broadcasting in Italy and Japan[citation needed].
The MTV Flux website allows users to register and create a unique web page in the style of social networking sites like MySpace, usually http://www.mtv.co.uk/user/XXX. This page allows users create avatars and upload pictures and video.
There is currently only one programme produced for and broadcast on MTV Flux: Up, Up, Down, Down... (short for the complete Konami Code which serves as its full official title), an hour-long show, nominally about computer games interspersed with music videos and user-submitted content.
