Overview

• Multiple UK outlets report that MTV Music, MTV 80s, MTV 90s, Club MTV and Live HD are slated to go off air on December 31.
• The coverage says music channels outside the United States in Asia, Latin America and Australia are also being cut.
• Reports indicate the flagship MTV channel in the UK would continue, primarily airing reality series rather than music videos.
• Sources attribute the reported shutdowns to post‑merger cost cutting linked to Paramount Global and Skydance Media and to audience shifts toward streaming.
• MTV declined to comment, following earlier reductions to MTV UK's local music programming and redundancies this year.
