MTM (broadcast television network)

MTM is a future United States broadcast television network. It was announced by Ellen Peck during an ArgosyMTM Direct presentation on February 11, 2022, and serves as an extension of the affiliate base from IndieNet, ArgosyMTM’s existing infrastructure for syndication of programs to local independent stations. Programming will include classic ArgosyMTM archival programming; children’s programming on weekend mornings; as well as “certain” NASCAR races, and news programming using the resources of ArgosyMTM Online Properties.

MTM will also absorb the MTM cable and multicast channel, as well as existing affiliates of the minor YTA TV, BizTV, and RNN networks (in places where IndieNet has no available member station). If no available independent station or other affiliate is available in a market, ION stations owned by ArgosyMTM subsidiary Inyo, as well as low-power stations owned by ArgosyMTM subsidiary DTV America, will reportedly switch to “part-time” MTM operations.

MTM will officially launch on December 29, 2022, which is the birthday of late MTM Enterprises founder, Mary Tyler Moore. Some stations, such as KONG-TV in Seattle (owned by Tegna, which recently became a corporate sister of ArgosyMTM Group under Multi), WHDH in Boston, and the independent stations owned by Paramount Global, have already adopted MTM branding.
