MTV is pulling the plug on much of its global music television presence. Parent company Paramount Skydance announced last week that five of the network’s U.K. music channels — MTV Music, MTV ’80s, MTV ’90s, Club MTV, and MTV Live — will go off the air after December 31, 2025. Only flagship MTV HD will continue airing, focused primarily on reality programming such as “Geordie Shore” and “Naked Dating UK.”

The decision reflects changing viewing habits, reports the BBC, as audiences now watch most music videos on platforms like YouTube and social media instead of traditional TV. The announcement follows a recent Wall Street Journal story about how Paramount Skydance is exploring ways to revitalize MTV and its sister networks “while rivals spin them off.”
