The 2016 iHeartRadio Much Music Video Awards (commonly referred to as the iHeartRadio MMVAs) were held on June 19, 2016 outside 299 Queen Street West in Toronto, Ontario, and hosted by Chloe Wilde, Jus Reign and Jillea.
The 2016 edition was co-branded with iHeartRadio, an online radio service with no Canadian terrestrial presence; earlier in the year, sister division Bell Media Radio had reached a licensing agreement to operate a Canadian version of the service owned by U.S. radio conglomerate iHeartMedia. The co-branding was meant to "further elevate the MMVAs internationally" as part of efforts to bring Bell-owned content into the U.S. via iHeartRadio.[1] [2]
During the broadcast several artists paused to acknowledge the Orlando nightclub shooting that had taken place a week earlier, including singer Nick Jonas who dedicated his award to those involved.[3]
