Murr, marketed and known as MTV Lebanon, is a Lebanese television station based in Naccache, Metn District. It was founded in 1991 by businessman Michel El Murr, son of Gabriel Murr (brother of Lebanese politician Michel Murr), as an independent channel emphasizing local programming while also broadcasting Arab and Western content. From its early stages, MTV states that it sought to represent the "complexity and richness" of Lebanese viewers’ identities, placing special focus on local programming while acquiring foreign formats under a self-regulatory of ethics.
