2013 Upfront:  MTV

MTV unveiled its and sister network’s MTV2’s programming slates at its annual Upfront presentation at the Beacon Theatre in New York City, which featured performances from Selena Gomez and Emeli Sande as well as appearances from Nikki Glaser and Sara Schaefer. A high point was Vinny Guadagnino, who introduced his mom Paola and Uncle Nino – his co-stars in the new Staten Island-based series “The Show With  Vinny” (We cannot wait to see it!). Here’s a look at what else is coming up.
