'''MTV''', short for '''Music Television''', is the network that hosted and produced [[Daria (TV series)|Daria]] from 1997-2002. (This article principally refers to MTV/U.S. Daria was also broadcast on many international MTV channels during its original run.) MTV also hosts, through MTV.com, the official ''Daria'' website, though it is no longer updated and is missing some links. The site was probably last updated in 2002, as it includes an "essay" by [[Daria Morgendorffer|Daria]] referencing the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks on the United States. To promote the DVD release of ''[[Daria: The Complete Animated Series]]'', MTV launched a new Daria website with streaming video of several season 1 episodes.

MTV was launched in 1981 as a 24-hour music video network. In the late eighties, MTV began developing and airing non-video programming, such as the news program ''The Week in Rock'' and the game show ''Remote Control''. In the early nineties, animated programming made its first appearance on the channel in the form of Liquid Television. Arguably MTV's most popular animated program to date was [[Beavis and Butt-head (TV series)|Beavis and Butthead]], first aired in 1993, and from which ''Daria'' was spun off.
