While the market in the Middle East offered MTVN with huge opportunities due to its huge youth populace, MTV's controversial content that was known for angering religious, political, and conservative communities could easily backfire in the conservative environment prevalent in the region. On the other hand, too much localization to suit the tastes of the region could dilute MTV's global brand.
