MTV to shut down music channels: Why the network is closing its iconic music channels

MTV is set to close five of its iconic music channels, including MTV Music, MTV 80s, MTV 90s, Club MTV, and MTV Live, by December 31, 2025. This decision, driven by changing viewing habits and cost-cutting measures, marks the end of an era for music television. The brand will continue its presence on social media and the Paramount+ streaming service.
