The iHeartRadio Much Music Video Awards were an annual awards show broadcast annually on Much from 1990 to 2018, and Fuse from 2010 to 2013 that honoured the year's best music videos.{{cite web|last1=Brait|first1=Ellen|title=Big names, small worries leading up to the MMVAs|date=17 June 2017 |url=https://www.thestar.com/entertainment/music/2017/06/17/big-names-small-worries-leading-up-to-the-mmvas.html|publisher=Toronto Star|access-date=21 May 2018}}

History
=1990–1995: As the Canadian Music Video Awards=
The first Canadian Music Video Awards took place in 1990 on a three-week trip aboard a Canadian National Railway train across Canada. It was sponsored by Diet Pepsi and the train was dubbed "The Pepsi Train".{{cite book |last1=Ward |first1=Christopher |title=Is this Live?: Inside the Wild Early Years of MuchMusic : the Nation's Music Station |date=2016 |publisher=Random House of Canada |isbn=9780345810342 |page=252 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=kdoiDQAAQBAJ&q=%22canadian+music+video+awards%22+1990&pg=PA252 |access-date=30 July 2018 |language=en}} Awards were handed out during its journey,{{cite book |last1=Edwardson |first1=Ryan |title=Canuck Rock: A History of Canadian Popular Music |date=2009 |publisher=University of Toronto Press |isbn=9781442697065 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ap0Y63ktP4UC&q=%22canadian+music+video+awards%22+1990&pg=PT294 |access-date=30 July 2018 |language=en}} which included 10 Canadian cities.{{cite web |last1=Gallant |first1=Jacques |title=MMVAs: 25 years of outrageous moments {{!}} The Star |url=https://www.thestar.com/entertainment/television/2014/06/14/mmvas_25_years_of_outrageous_moments.html |website=thestar.com |date=14 June 2014 |publisher=Toronto Star |access-date=30 July 2018 |language=en}} In 1992 the CMVA's moved to the CityTV/MuchMusic studios in Toronto. In 1993 Michael Kennedy, director, and Kids In The Hall crowded into the Speaker's Corner booth outside the MuchMusic studios to accept the award for Best Comedy Video for "Terriers".
=1996–2015: MMVAs=
In their modern form, the MMVAs were held as a large street party around 299 Queen Street West—the main downtown Toronto studios of Much and other properties owned by its parent company Bell Media. Much VJs introduced and interviewed presenters and winners throughout the show. Winners of a Much Music Video Award received a statue made by New York firm, Society Awards. Viewers could vote for the "Fan Fave" category which included Video, Artist or Group, and International Artist or Group.
In 2001, a show was not held due to the September 11 attacks occurring two weeks prior.{{cite web |last1=Huddleston |first1=Jess |title=5 Things You Might Not Know About The iHeartRadio MMVAs |url=http://mmva.muchmusic.com/five-facts-mmvas/ |website=MMVAs |access-date=30 July 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170612002928/http://mmva.muchmusic.com/five-facts-mmvas/ |archive-date=12 June 2017}} However, awards were still handed out. All MMVA shows were subsequently held in June until 2017.
=2016–2018: iHeartRadio MMVAs=
In 2016, Bell Media signed an exclusive pact with iHeartMedia{{cite web |last1=Vlessing |first1=Etan |title=iHeartMedia Heads to Canada, Continuing International Digital Expansion |url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/iheartmedia-canada-international-digital-expansion-852470 |website=The Hollywood Reporter |date=6 January 2016 |access-date=21 June 2020 |language=en}} and began co-branding the awards with iHeartRadio to "further elevate the MMVAs internationally."
In 2018, the show moved to August{{cite web |last1=Murphy |first1=Sarah |title=Alessia Cara, Halsey, Marshmello Among First 2018 iHeartRadio MMVAs Performers |url=http://exclaim.ca/music/article/alessia_cara_halsey_marshmello_among_first_2018_iheartradio_mmvas_performers |website=exclaim.ca |publisher=Exclaim! |access-date=30 July 2018 |language=en}} and its full name "MuchMusic Video Awards" was dropped. According to CTV Toronto, Bell Media "hopes the shift will help establish a new back-to-school event."{{cite web |title=iHeartRadio MMVAs will now be held at the end of August |url=https://toronto.ctvnews.ca/iheartradio-mmvas-will-now-be-held-at-the-end-of-august-1.3915616 |website=Toronto |access-date=21 June 2020 |language=en |date=4 May 2018}}
The iHeartRadio MMVAs were not held in 2019 & 2020. Bell Media president Randy Lennox told The Canadian Press that the awards were "delayed" due to "a massive concert in August and also the MTV awards were one day after our date, so we didn't think it was smart."{{cite web |last1=Ahern |first1=Victoria |title=Bell Media announces lineup, says iHeartRadio MMVAs will be delayed |url=https://toronto.citynews.ca/2019/06/06/bell-media-announces-lineup-says-iheartradio-mmvas-will-be-delayed/ |website=toronto.citynews.ca |access-date=6 August 2019}}
