MTV is like so many networks that have changed from when they first went on the air.

A lot of people probably don’t know what the acronyms stand for. Here are some: ESPN, A&E, CNBC, VH1, BET. Maybe this might be too easy.

So many channels have gone off the air over the decades through acquisitions, mergers, or some other reason.

ESPN = Entertainment and Sports Programming Network
A & E = Arts and Entertainment
CNBC = Consumer News and Business Channel
VH1 = Video Hits One
BET = Black Entertainment Television

This could be fun. Some others :

CSPAN = Cable Satellite Public Affairs Network
HBO = Home Box Office
