In a bold pivot signalling the end of an era, Paramount Global has confirmed that five of MTV's UK music channels—MTV Music, MTV 80s, MTV 90s, Club MTV and MTV Live—will cease broadcasting on31 December 2025.
This marks a dramatic shift from MTV's roots as a music pioneer to a future focused on streaming and reality programming, as linear music television succumbs to the dominance of on-demand platforms like YouTube and TikTok.
