The programs include "21 Candles: Miley's MTV Moments," offering 21 reasons for Cyrus' popularity. It will be followed by a repeat showing of the MTV film "Miley: The Movement Deluxe Edition."
MTV said Thursday that Cyrus also will serve up two of her favorite MTV shows, "Awkward" and "Snooki and JWoww."
