MTV Impact

The channel features a variety of Black, Indigenous, and people of color as hosts, commentators, and cast members. There's a diverse range of topics and subjects represented in each story covered, from women's sports and election coverage to personal stories about identity and resilience. The various representations include but are not limited to different ethnic and racial groups, abilities, sexual orientations, ages, nationalities, socioeconomic classes, political parties, and gender. Videos cover topics like color-blind casting in Hollywood, colorism, and the importance of pronouncing names correctly.

Content exposes viewers to stories that contain police brutality, gun violence, sexual and domestic violence, and genocide. For example, the story of Megan Thee Stallion being a victim of aggravated assault with a gun was reported. Images and videos that accompany these specific stories are not graphic.

Some references to romantic relationships.

There is some profanity used on MTV Impact's show, Decoded. The episode "How To Stop Victim Blaming" uses the word "bitch", but words like this aren't used in the hosts' everyday language, but instead is used to quote another person or in context of the story being told. This type of language is very rare in these videos.

Substance abuse and recovery is discussed in some videos in the channels series, 16 & Recovering.
