MTV Shutting Down Some of Its Music Channels After 40 Years
MTV is set to shut down five of its stations in the U.K. at the end of the year, although its main station, MTV HD, will continue airing its popular reality series like Geordie Shore.
MTV will shutter the following channels in the United Kingdom: MTV Music, MTV 80s, MTV 90s, Club MTV, and MTV Live. The network will keep its flagship channel, MTV HD. This channel, though, is focused on airing reality TV shows rather than music videos. It’s home to beloved franchises like Teen Mom and Geordie Shore.
Nearly 40 years after debuting in the United Kingdom, MTV is retiring several of its channels there. According to BBC News, MTV Music, MTV 80s, MTV 90s, Club MTV and MTV Live will no longer be available after Dec. 31, 2025.
