Notice to residents – interruption in the availability of MTV channels
MTV and Elisa are currently negotiating a new channel distribution agreement as the current contract expires on May 12, 2026. It is possible that MTV’s free-to-air channels (MTV3, Sub, and Ava) may not be available on Elisa’s cable TV network starting Wednesday, May 13, 2026.
Any potential interruption would affect the availability of live broadcasts on Elisa’s network.
If there are disruptions in the distribution of MTV channels, Elisa will offer residents the opportunity to use the Elisa Viihde service free of charge for one month. Through this service, the channels can be watched via an internet connection on a smart TV, mobile device, tablet, or computer.
MTV channels can be viewed on the Elisa Viihde service as recordings and during recording with approximately a 3-minute delay. The service will end automatically, and no separate charges will be billed to residents.
Residents may choose to activate the Elisa Viihde application in advance and familiarize themselves with the service in case of a disruption.
We will inform you of any changes and developments on our website.
