Myx TV (/ˈmiks/; formerly branded simply as Myx, and stylized as myx TV), is an American cable television network based in Glendale, California. It was launched in 2007 and is available nationwide in major cities, including New York City, Los Angeles, Honolulu,[1][2] Chicago and Seattle.[3] Myx TV was originally targeted to the Asian American youth community with music video as its primary content. However, in 2011, it was reformatted to become a general entertainment channel targeted to the Asian American diaspora.

Background

ABS-CBN International launched Myx TV on DirecTV on February 28, 2007[4] from its corporate headquarters in Redwood City, California. Myx TV is the American counterpart of myx, an influential music channel in the Philippines, and is programmed and operated independently.[5] The network changed its logo in April 2011.[6] In February 2014, Myx TV moved its operations to Glendale, California.[7]

In May 2013, Myx TV launched a video on demand app on Roku,[8] followed by launches on other over-the-top content platforms including Samsung Smart TV.[9]

Myx TV began producing original reality shows in 2014 and premiered its first series I'm Asian American and... on April 23, 2014.[15][16][17] In June 2014, the network premiered its first original competition reality show Call to Cosplay, which is also the first ever cosplay competition show in the United States.[18] Two more original reality series Bagged[19] and Eat Your Words[20] premiered in August and October, respectively, with both series renewed in 2015.[21]

In January 2015, Myx TV became the first U.S. cable network to air K-Pop live music countdown show Inkigayo.[22][23] The network also launched an Asian horror movie block called Shiver and Shake in July 2015.[24]

In August 2015, Myx TV launched three new series exclusively for its YouTube channel, The Alternative, Buddha Smash, and Snaxxx.[25][26][27][28]
