MTV India Says It Is Not Shutting Down After Online Rumors

Overview

  • The channel posted a video on Instagram calling out unverified sources and told viewers, "Hum kahin nahi ja rahe."
  • MTV India said reports suggesting a December 31, 2025 shutdown were false and urged audiences to check credible sources.
  • Paramount Global has scheduled the closure of UK feeds such as MTV Music, MTV 80s, MTV 90s, Club MTV, and MTV Live at year-end 2025.
  • The flagship MTV network will continue internationally with a lineup that now leans heavily toward reality programming rather than music.
