MTV Is Shutting Down Its Music Channels After 40 Years
The end of an era for those who grew up watching music videos on TV.
Paramount Global, the media giant behind MTV, confirmed that it will shut down all remaining MTV-branded music networks by the end of 2025.
- The closure will begin in the UK and Ireland, where these channels will go off air on 31 December 2025.
- Other parts of Europe, including Poland, Hungary, Germany, and Austria, will follow.
As one might say:
the last time MTV truly played music videos 24/7, most of us were still downloading songs off LimeWire.
Over the years, the network shifted its focus from music to reality and entertainment shows.
Its flagship channel, MTV HD, will remain on air.
