MTV nabs TV rights for “This Is It”

In a undisclosed multi-million dollar distribution deal, MTV Networks has acquired the exclusive U.S. TV rights to the MJ documentary This Is It. As part of the deal all MTV sister networks including VH1, BET and Palladia will have rights to air the film in its entirety.
