את השעשועון יצרו ג'ון קרסינסקי ("המשרד" האמריקאית) וסטיבן מרצ'נט ("ניצבים", "הלו ליידיז" ומיוצרי "המשרד") ומנחה אותה הראפר אל.אל. קול ג'יי יחד עם הדוגמנית צ'ריסי טיגן בתפקיד כתבת מאחורי הקלעים. עם נתוני צפייה של 2.2 מליון צופים לפרק הראשון, הפכה "קרב הליפסינק" ללהיט ענק ולתוכנית הנצפית ביותר של רשת הכבלים "Spike" בה היא משודרת, וקטעים ממנה הפכו ויראלים ברשת בתוך שעות. בכל פרק של השעשועון, עומדים שני סלבריטאים מן השורה הראשונה, אחד מול השני, כשכל אחד מהם יבצע שני סבבי שירים מוכרים ואהובים בליפסינק, (תוך שהם מנסים לחקות את המבצעים המקוריים של השירים ככל יכולתם) והקהל הנלהב הוא שיקבע מי מהם מנצח.

The MTV Europe Music Awards "(EMA)" were established in 1994 by MTV Networks Europe to celebrate the most popular music videos in Europe. Originally beginning as an alternative to the American MTV Video Music Awards, the MTV Europe Music Awards is today a popular celebration of what MTV viewers consider the best in music. The awards are chosen by MTV viewers throughout Europe. The MTV Europe Music Awards always changes its host city.

The MTV Euro Top 20 was a music chart countdown on MTV Europe, which played the continent's most popular songs and artists. The countdown had been shown on the majority of the regional MTV channels in Europe since the late 1980´s up until its cancellation in April 2009. It was then rebranded on MTV Europe as Euro Hitlist and shown with a varying compilation method up until its complete termination in August 2012.

Party Zone was MTV Europe's longest-running show, born not only when MTV Europe started but also when club culture was at its embryonic stage. Partyzone played a mix of new and old tracks from many different genres of dance music, including garage, house, techno, electronic, trance and drum and bass. It can be seen every Friday and Saturday night on the various European local MTV versions, alongside the original MTV European, which still goes out to European countries that don't have a local MTV.

From 1987 - 2000, Party Zone was produced and programmed by James Hyman.

Between 1987 and 1990, Party Zone was hosted by some of MTV Europe's original VJs including Kristiane Backer. From 1991 to late 1998, it was hosted by Simone Angel, who quickly became the "face" of dance music on the channel, interviewing the most groundbreaking electronic acts and promoting videos by then still relatively unknown acts, such as The Prodigy in the early '90s. Party Zone featured many rare interviews over the years, including one with Aphex Twin, The Future Sound of London, Ken Ishii.

Even after Simone Angel left MTV Europe in December 1998, the Party Zone continued to air as a weekly non-stop dance music mix on MTV Europe and on the then newly created local versions.
