The award was given on the strength of such shows as the MTV Video Music Awards and the MTV EMA.
The brash media unit, which once defined music culture with correspondents like Kurt Loder, SuChin Pak, Tabitha Soren and Gideon Yago, is officially no more.
Top nominees for scripted programming are Top Gun: Maverick, Stranger Things and The Last of Us, with six nods each.
The 2023 series will also include the children of Backstreet Boys' Brian Littrell, *NSYNC's Joey Fatone, Boyz II Men's Nathan Morris, Van Halen's Sammy Hagar, TLC's Chili & more.
MTV's close cousin has been moved to Scott Mills' BET Media Group, ending an organizational pairing that lasted decades.
