It can truly be said that MTV as it once was, flaws and all, is officially dead ... and there's no doubt that pop culture is all the worse for its loss.
MTV is shutting down its music channels, ending an era of pop hits and music videos while reality TV and streaming take center stage.
MTV is preparing to bid farewell to five of its legendary music channels. On October 12, 2025, Paramount Global announced that MTV Music, MTV 80s, MTV 90s, Club MTV, and MTV Live will officially go off-air on December 31, 2025. This will bring an end to over four decades of shaping global music and youth culture.
