MTV ANNOUNCES PLANS TO SHUT DOWN SEVERAL MUSIC CHANNELS AFTER 40 YEARS
MTV will shut down five of its music channels, including MTV 80s, 90s, and Live, on December 31, ending decades of continuous video broadcasts. Only MTV HD will remain, focusing on reality shows like Geordie Shore. The move reflects shifting viewing habits, as music videos now thrive on YouTube and social media. Paramount also plans similar closures overseas, putting the future of MTV’s once-iconic music legacy in doubt.
