After 44 years, MTV is shutting down all of its remaining global music-video channels — the ones dedicated to concerts, live performances, and nonstop music programming. What’s staying? The main MTV entertainment channels. What’s going? MTV Music, MTV 80s, MTV 90s, MTV Live, and more — all going dark by the end of 2025. The reason is simple: the world no longer watches music on television. Audiences moved to YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and streaming platforms years ago, leaving traditional music channels with almost no demand. It’s a bittersweet moment for anyone who grew up discovering artists through late-night concert blocks, award show reruns, and music countdowns — a reminder of how quickly the way we experience music keeps evolving. 🎶 #news
