Since its debut in the 1980s, MTV may be single-handedly responsible for music videos as we know them, not to mention some of the hottest reality TV shows ever — including “Jersey Shore.” Now reinventing itself one more time, MTV is available for online streaming as a live TV channel when you purchase a skinny bundle — no cable subscription required. Keep reading to find out how you can keep up with the times and cut those cords with the streaming services below.
How to Watch MTV Without Cable
What exactly is a skinny bundle, and how is MTV involved? Imagine you could use an online streaming service such as Hulu to watch your favorite cable shows in real time. Now imagine that you got to customize your channel lineup with the content you actually watch and not those filler channels cable companies saddle you with. That’s basically a skinny bundle — and it even goes for cheaper than your usual cable subscription!
Not every channel is available for streaming as part of a skinny bundle, but MTV is. You can find it on:

More to Stream for Fans of MTV
There’s no replacing MTV, and no other channel comes close. But there are a few other networks that offer similar programming you may be interested in.
VH1 is very similar to MTV. The channel is also right at the heart of pop culture, with hits such as “RuPaul’s Drag Race” becoming household names and the topic of chatter among friends.
