Archive:List of Marianas CableVision channels (CNMI, February 1999)

Marianas CableVision was a cable television operator serving the US territories of Guam and the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas Islands. In Guam, it operated an island-wide head-end (as well as absorbing the head-ends of competitor Guam Cable TV in 1997) and in the CNMI, three head-ends (in Saipan, Rota and Tinian).

MCV was later acquired by the Japanese telecommunications company NTT Docomo, who subsequently renamed the two operations as Docomo Pacific. As of 2023, the CNMI still has a separate head-end of the operator, with fewer channels available than those in Guam.
