MTV Shows was an MTV entertainment channel in the United Kingdom and Ireland. The channel launched on 8 November 2007 on digital platforms Sky and Virgin Media and later on UPC Ireland on 15 October 2009 as MTV R. The R, was often written as "Ⓡ".

On 1 March 2010, MTV R was rebranded to MTV Shows. MTV Shows was removed from Virgin Media on 28 August 2010, along with MTV +1 and MTV Classic, to make room for Comedy Central HD.

MTV Shows ceased broadcasting on 1 February 2011, to make way for MTV Music, while MTV was repositioned as an entertainment channel.
