Update (4/4/2019): You know what? Brexit has been on the cards for nearly three years now, March 28 - when the UK was meant to have left the EU (something I personally don't want) came and went, and the UK is still in the same position as it was when the referendum results were first announced. We have the most useless politicians on the planet. Danny Dyer was right with what he called them (search for it, I'm not saying it here!).
Anyway, Ofcom is reporting that Viacom International Media Networks (VIMN) has handed back its U.K. broadcasting licences for the Irish versions of Nickelodeon (Eire), Nick Jr. (Eire), Nick Jr. Too (ROI), Nicktoons (Eire), and the defunct Nicktoons Replay (Eire), operated by Nickelodeon U.K. Limited, as well as the licences for Comedy Central Ireland and Comedy Central Extra Ire (Paramount UK Partnership) and MTV Ireland and MTV Music 24 (Viacom International Media Networks U.K. Limited). It is understood that the channels now use licences from Czech Radio Regulator RRTV for their continued distribution.
Again, British politicians - useless!
Update (22/2/2019): It seems that Viacom International Media Networks (VIMN) and MTV Networks are preparing for a no deal Brexit, which has become much more of a possibility over the last month thanks to the UK's incompetent leaders on all sides of the political spectrum (I'm looking at you, May and Corbyn).
The Czech Radio Regulator RRTV (Radio and Television Broadcasting Council) has granted MTV Networks satellite licenses for the continued distribution of Nickelodeon UK, Nick Jr. UK, Nick Jr. Too (UK), Nicktoons UK, Comedy Central UK, Comedy Central + 1 (UK), Comedy Central Extra (UK), MTV UK in Ireland, which will remain a member of the European Union (EU). The licenses are valid for 12 years.
At the same time, the Council informs the EU Member State, Ireland that MTV Networks with its Czech license can be broadcast in its territory.

The license is for a music television channel aimed at young people focusing on American and international productions. MTV Music 24 will be broadcast 24 hours a day in English. The license is valid for 12 years.
At the same time, RRTV informs the EU Member States (European Union), ie Austria, Croatia, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, that MTV Music 24 has a Czech License.
The MTV Networks broadcaster has registered MTV Networks as a satellite broadcaster in Ireland, Albania, Andorra, Austria, Belarus, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Greece, Hungary, Indonesia, Israel, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Micronesia, Mongolia, Montenegro, Myanmar, the Netherlands, Norway, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Samoa, Serbia, Singapore , Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, Tonga, Turkey, Ukraine and United Arab Emirates, where MTV Base, MTV Music, MTV Music, MTV ROCKS, MTV OMG, VH1, MTV Live HD broadcast.
Original post:
Anticipating Brexit, broadcasters, including Viacom International Media Networks (VIMN), 21st Century Fox, and Viceland have started moving their broadcast licences from the UK.
Seeking an alternative, Viacom International Media Networks has obtained licences in The Netherlands for its bouquet of channels aimed at France audiences: Nickelodeon (France), Nickelodeon Junior (France), Nickelodeon Teen (France), MTV (France), MTV Hits (France), BET (France), and Paramount Channel (France). Also, a number of VIMN channels for Denmark now operate under a Dutch licence.
21st Century Fox has also decided to license National Geographic Channel and Nat Geo Wild in Spain, as well as the Dutch language versions of Fox and National Geographic Channel intended for Flanders, the Dutch speaking part of Belgium. Viceland is now using a Dutch licence for its Dutch and Belgian (Dutch language) channels.
At the moment, more than 750 channels based in Britain and licenced by media regulator Ofcom can currently broadcast throughout the European Union without restriction because Britain is part of the EU’s single market, but this is all set to change after Brexit.
A number of other channel providers with bases in Britain are expected to follow suit, including Discovery, Disney, the Modern Times Group, and Turner Broadcasting.
