The MTV VJ Hunt is a search conducted by certain MTV channels in Asia for their respective channels' newest VJs.
MTV VJ Hunt Indonesia in 2011 was the last VJ Hunt competition in the country as the MTV license for Indonesia was not being extended in Indonesia due to some undisclosed reasons. Haries Argareza (Arga) Harahap was chosen as the runner up and Andra Ziggie got the 3rd place.
The MTV VJ Hunt in the Philippines was held every two years, and has produced notable Filipino VJs. During the 2005 MTV VJ Hunt, instead of choosing the standard two winners, four winners were picked for the first time. One winner, Colby Miller became the first Philippine VJ Hunt winner to be hired by MTV Asia. During the whole duration of MTV Philippines, KC Montero became the longest active VJ Hunt winner.
This is a list of people who have been VJs on MTV, the music video channel in the U.S. and around the world.
Originally hired to represent a wide array of musical tastes and personal ethnicities, VJs eventually became famous in their own right. Initially, they were nothing more than on-air personalities, but as the popularity of MTV grew, they began to branch out past just introducing music clips. Soon, they were considered by many to be full fledged music journalists, interviewing major music celebrities and hosting their own television shows on the channel.
The + sign next to a VJ's name indicates that he or she was among the first on the channel.
