https://creators.yahoo.com/lifestyle/story/the-day-the-music-died-mtv-is-shutting-down-its-music-channels-after-four-decades-072758818.htmlThere was a time when three letters defined cool. M-T-V.
If you grew up anywhere between the neon ’80s and the streaming 2000s, MTV wasn’t just television, it was a lifestyle. It gave us Madonna before social media, Nirvana before YouTube, and Beyoncé before Instagram. It shaped music, fashion, and the very idea of youth culture.
Now, after more than forty years of rewiring global pop culture, MTV is beginning to power down some of its most iconic music channels around the world, and for millions of fans, it feels like saying goodbye to an old friend.
MTV’s parent company, Paramount Global, plans to shut down five MTV-branded music channels in the U.K. and parts of Europe by December 31, 2025. The affected channels include MTV Music, MTV 80s, MTV 90s, MTV Live, and Club MTV, long-running networks that played nonstop hits, classic throwbacks, and live performances.
EXCERPT
MTV lost its way in the 1990s with non-stop "Hip-Hop," perpetual "Spring Break," and "The Real World."
