MCM Top is a French music video TV channel edited by MCM France, owned by Groupe M6.

History

To enrich its offer of music channels, Lagardère Active launched on November 28, 2003 MCM Music + channels. It was then composed of three channels : MCM, MCM Pop, replacing MCM 2 and MCM Top (newly created). The latter continuously broadcasts current music videos and the target population is 15 to 24 years old.

On June 13, 2007, the channel was reformatted and became interactive. New programs like "Fais Ton Top" and "Fais Ton Club" allow to vote by SMS between two clips for the next clip. Another "Top Mix" show, formerly comparable to Ultra Tubes on MCM, gives the opportunity to vote to choose the program that will be aired in the second part of the evening." Top Club, Top Rock, Top Hip Hop, Top US and Top R'N'B" become rankings made through the votes of viewers on top.mcm.net as well as the "Top.fr" which is comparable to the "hit mcm.fr".

On 1 July 2016, the channel stopped broadcasting on Canalsat, On 24 November 2016, the channel returned to Canalsat on the same channel (175) and goes to HD (1920x1080p) for its 13th anniversary.

On 7 August 2018, MCM Top was removed of SFR along with Virgin Radio TV.

On 16 July 2019, MCM Top was ultimately removed of Canal+, during the merger of Lagardère Active television division with Groupe M6, along with the closure of Elle Girl TV because it wasn't renewed by Canal+ from which the latter was exclusive in France. At the same time, MCM Top was replaced by MCM on Canal+ Calédonie.

On 1 January 2020, MCM Top was removed of Orange. Also, MCM Top stopped broadcasting its programs in France, being only a simulcast of MCM through its last carriers Freebox TV and Bbox TV.

On 19 March 2022, MCM Top resumed airing its programming.

On 24 February 2024, MCM Top and MCM changed their look when the music video clips are broadcast.

MCM Top is also available in Portugal through the base offers of MEO, NOS and Vodafone.
