MTV Networks, is a division of media conglomerate Viacom that oversees the operations of many television channels and Internet brands, including the original MTV (Music Television) channel in the United States. MTV Networks also operates MTV Networks International. The company was rebranded as Viacom Media Networks in 2011.

The company was established in 1984 after Warner Communications and American Express decided to divest the basic cable assets of Warner-Amex Satellite Entertainment, renaming it MTV Networks, Inc. Warner-Amex originally created and owned Nickelodeon, MTV, VH1 and The Movie Channel (TMC).

Viacom acquired 66% of the company in 1985, and then acquired the remaining interest in 1986. It was then folded into Viacom International Inc., a subsidiary of Viacom Inc., and is no longer a distinct legal entity.

Year in parentheses denotes when channel was brought into the MTV Networks fold. MTV Networks' family of brands is divided into three sections, based on the type of television programming and audiences they serve.

Andy Chen (Hsuan-Yu Chen) (born July 12, 1986 in Tainan, Taiwan) is a Taiwanese figure skater. He is the 2005 Taiwan national champion. Chen is a three time competitor on the Junior Grand Prix circuit and a one time competitor at the World Junior Figure Skating Championships. Chen is coached by Anthony Liu and Igor Pashkevich. He is going to California State University, San Bernardino.

Douglas Alan "Doug" Herzog (born July 16, 1959) is an American television executive.

He is currently serving as President of MTV Networks Entertainment Group. He is credited with bringing South Park, The Daily Show, and The Colbert Report to Viacom's Comedy Central and canceling Mystery Science Theater 3000.

He has held senior positions with USA Network, where he helped launch Monk, and at Fox, launching Malcolm in the Middle. Prior to his first association with Comedy Central, he had been an Associate Producer on CNN and TBS, and a senior manager at MTV, and was responsible for MTV News, Camp MTV, The Real World, Road Rules, Beavis and Butt-head, The MTV Movie Awards, and The MTV Video Music Awards.

He is also mentioned in the South Park episode "Cartoon Wars Part II". In the episode, Kyle gives a speech to the president of the network as Cartman threatens to shoot him. The speech, in which Kyle begs the president not to censor an image of Muslim prophet Muhammad, is taken almost verbatim from a speech that Trey Parker gave to Herzog concerning censorship of the episode, so Kyle calls the president Doug, referring to Herzog. However, even though Muhammad had previously been shown on South Park, the image of Muhammad was censored by Comedy Central in "Cartoon Wars".
