In December 2005, MAD established, in cooperation with UBI World TV, the first international Greek music channel MAD World which targets Greeks abroad. MAD World is on air 24 hours a day, broadcasting all genres of Greek Music with special daily shows, rockumentaries dedicated to famous Greek artists, and special shows that keep the audience informed about the events that take place in Greece. In July 2006, MAD partnered up with ANT1 to launch Blue, a channel similar to MAD World but available only to audiences in North America. The channel was available with select international packages from satellite providers Dish Network in North America. However, Blue was not available from any North American cable television providers.

MadWalk is a project by MAD TV that Famous and newcomers Greek fashion designers coexist with the greatest Greek performers in a unique event that combines dynamic Live Performances with subversive Fashion Shows.

Mistresses of the first Fashion Music Project, in 2011, was the fashion icons Vicky Kaya and Tamta. For the second year, Mad TV decided that the MAD presenter Mairi Synatsaki would be ideal for the Fashion Music Project, so Vicky Kaya and herself presented the event together for the two following years (2012-2013). In 2014, Mairi Synatsaki was the hostess for the show by herself.
