Availability
MTV Jams, a part of the MTV Digital Suite, is available on most digital cable systems, but not Dish Network or DirecTV.
Until the summer of 2012, Time Warner Cable did not carry the network except on their former Adelphia systems, where previous contracts with MTV Networks are required to be honored, and Bright House Networks, of which Time Warner Cable formerly had a stake in. This resulted in unavailability of the network in New York City on non-Cablevision systems; Time Warner is the majority cable provider for Manhattan, Staten Island, and Brooklyn/Queens. MTV Jams and their sister networks will be added in summer 2012 as part of a wider agreement between Viacom and Time Warner Cable to allow access to their networks over TWC's tablet applications.
The network is also carried on some cable systems in Latin America, South America, and Mexico in a localized form. In Bolivia (Latin America) the channel is available under Digital television systems.

Famous quotes containing the word availability:
“Since ... six weeks ago, there has been no day in which I have not had letters and visits on the subject of my nomination for the Presidency.... I say very little. I have in no instance encouraged any one to work to that end.... I have said the whole talk about me is on the score of availability. Let availability do the work then.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
