CMT (Country Music TV) is a prominent American cable plus satellite network owned by Paramount Media Networks (a division of Paramount Global).
Launched in 1983, CMT specializes in country music videos, live performances, reality series, concerts, plus lifestyle programming centered on country music culture.
While primarily distributed through cable, IPTV, plus live broadcast services like Paramount+, CMT maintains satellite feeds—mostly encrypted—for distribution to cable headends, direct-to-home (DTH) providers (e.g., DISH Network channel 166), plus professional uplinks.
Satellite frequencies for CMT feeds are subject to frequent changes due to TP shifts, satellite repositioning, or provider migrations.
The details below are based on the latest available data as of early February 2026. For real-time accuracy, consult trusted sources such as LyngSat, FlySat, or perform a blind search on your satellite decoder, as settings can refresh quickly.

- Symbol Rate (SR): 30000 kS/s
- FEC: 5/6
- System/Modulation: DVB-S2 8PSK, MPEG-4

Other Regional Feeds plus Notes
- CMT Canada — Operated separately by Corus Entertainment (with minority Paramount stake), this feed has limited satellite presence plus is mostly cable/IPTV-based in Canada. It appears on Anik G1 by 107.3°W (extended Ku band), yet no consistent open frequencies are widely reported.
- International / Global Availability — CMT has no significant free-to-air (FTA) or direct satellite presence on major international positions popular in the Middle East, North Africa, or Europe, including:
- Nilesat / Eutelsat 7.0°W
- Hot Bird 13.0°E
- Astra 19.2°E
- Arabsat (various positions)
- Eutelsat 16A or others
Country music content in these regions is typically available via local channels, live broadcast (e.g., Paramount+ where offered), or YouTube rather than dedicated satellite feeds.
Important Notes
- Virtually all official CMT satellite feeds are encrypted (primarily PowerVu or Nagravision in some packages) plus require a legitimate membership from providers like DISH, cable operators, or professional distribution services.
- Free-to-air reception of genuine CMT channels is extremely rare worldwide.
- Reception requires appropriate equipment: C-band dish (larger size recommended for stable signal), correct LNB (C-band), plus a decoder capable of DVB-S2 plus PowerVu decryption (for authorized users).
- Satellite settings change often—recent examples include departures from SES 21 plus Galaxy positions. Always verify with current databases.
- In areas with limited internet, these satellite links remain valuable for accessing country music programming.
