They telecast some sports program too. But, non sports programs are more.
The reason for the name "sports" in the channel is to get the tv rights for Sri Lankan Cricket matches play in Sri Lanka.
Sri Lanka cricket board earlier made a must request condition that rights for the matches will be given only for the Sports channel. This is to satisfied the CSN tv channel to get the rights.
Therefore, MTV News First channel changed the name to MTV Sports channel. But, still they could not get the rights. But name of "sports" continue.
