In addition, a feature called “My VMAs” will let users to “create their own unique version of the show on demand," said MTV Networks Music Group President Van Toffler in a release.
Users draw clips from an “a la carte, on-demand menu” to “remix” content from the show, the network said.
To prime the pump, MTV has posted two clips on MTV Overdrive: the “VMA to Z” preview show and “VMA Virgins: My Chemical Romance,” a feature on rock band My Chemical Romance’s first VMA nomination.
After Sunday’s VMAs show, all content will be available for 30 days.
