On 1 June 2021 NickMusic replaced MTV Music 24 in Europe.[8][9] Later, the channel expanded to Africa and the Middle East. The channel has a Czech license (RRTV) in order to ensure the continuation of legal broadcasting in the EU in accordance with the EU Audiovisual Media Services Directive (AVMSD) and the Single Market Law after the UK leaves the European Union. Since the Czech Republic has minimum broadcasting rules, it was chosen for licensing purposes in the EU.[1][2] The editorial office of the channel is still located in London.
