The channel launched initially as an all-music video service, once the original MTV had started to shift its programming.

By 2011, MTV2 would primarily target young adult men with original and acquired lifestyle and reality programming, reruns of male-targeting shows from MTV, acquired sitcoms and movies, and a daily block of hip hop and Rock music, rock genre videos in the early mornings.

It is the first installment of the '' MVP Baseball'' series, and was released as a successor to EA's ''Triple Play'' games, though it bore little more than a graphical similarity to its predecessors, which had been heavily maligned by critics in the series' final years. The PlayStation 2 version was ported to Japan for release on June 5, 2003. Randy Johnson and Miguel Tejada were the cover players. The 2003 game is the last game that uses a points system for player's salary; starting with the 2004 game an actual dollar amount is used for salaries.

Record Producer
A record producer or music producer is a music creating project's overall supervisor whose responsibilities can involve a range of creative and technical leadership roles. Typically the job involves hands-on oversight of recording sessions; ensuring artists deliver acceptable and quality performances, supervising the technical engineering of the recording, and coordinating the production team and process. The producer's involvement in a musical project can vary in depth and scope. Sometimes in popular genres the producer may create the recording's entire sound and structure. However, in classical music recording, for example, the producer serves as more of a liaison between the conductor and the engineering team. The role is often likened to that of a film director, though there are important differences. It is distinct from the role of an executive producer, who is mostly involved in the recording project on an administrative level, and from the audio engineer who operates the re ...
