If you're of a Getbigger of certain age and you feel like your youth is dying in front of you — you're probably right.
Forty four years after it first launched, MTV as we know it is dead. By the end of this year (tonight), MTV’s remaining 24-hour music channels will shut down globally, closing the book on one of the most influential chapters in pop culture history.
From 2026 onwards AI will take care of your entertainment in general
WOoooSSHHHHHHHHHHHH ROCK ME AMADEUS

First twelve minutes of MTV with advertisement for Superman two at 10:50. So much nostalgia.
-
It was a smash when it first arrived. The format changed (for the worse) but that was just keeping up with the times changing really.
We all have a great memory that is MTV inspired I am sure.

This news is just for Europe etc.
MTV Classic in USA is a good channel.

Never watched mtv. Never understood the hype.

man downtown julie brown was hot as fuck

Excellent!

Good riddance.
It was neat in the Metal years but there was too much bull shit from the 90ies onward.

Never watched mtv. Never understood the hype.
It was impressive and new in the 1980s. In Europe cable TV was a radical step, as in many countries commercial television was illegal / banned. So when laws were changed, loads of new Channels were suddenly available. Especially for the 12 to 20 year old it was very appealing. As MTV was so different and fresh compared to old traditional TV
But times and technology have changed immensely, now MTV is old and something from a bygone era.

Saw a video where she told that she once was crowd surfing, and several guys in the audience put their fingers inside her while she was carried over the crowd ;D

Have to look at the context of the time it debuted.
There was nothing like it - I could watch it for hours.

Cable television subscriptions tripled in the 80's, from 16 million in 1980 to 50 million by 1990.
In 1980, the FCC eliminated restrictions on "distant signal" carriage, allowing local cable systems to import programming from across the country. As a result multiple new Cable channels were launched in the early 80's including CNN, MTV, ESPN, and Nickelodeon.

I still watch music videos on the free Samsung channels. VEVO and there is another brand. No commentary just old videos. My wife gets a kick out of it when I watch them. Probably nostalgia.

When was the last time MTV played music videos? I can remember decades ago it was all "reality" BS and they made MTV2 for videos.

watching music videos these days is enough to give you a seizure
4 minutes of 3 second clips all tied together.

Headbangers' Ball was big, as was Yo! MTV Raps!
I remember when MTV was literally channel M on the black and silver cable box, when my mom could afford cable. Then there were the "Sneak Preview" videos that you could only see on MTV for a month. Once those appeared on NBC's Friday Night Videos and other spots, you knew MTV lost the exclusivity.
And lest we forget, the "Rock and Wrestling Connection". The WWF, via its connection with Cyndi Lauper (who had Capt. Lou Albano play her father in "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" video) used MTV to promote its matches.
The "Brawl for it All", women's world title match between the Fabulous Moolah (with Albano in her corner) and Wendi Richter (with Lauper in her corner), aired on MTV and it was a rating BOOM!! This set up the "War to Settle the Score" on MTV, which ultimately led to the first WrestleMania.
Hulk Hogan used to be guest VJ on a regular basis, especially when promoting WWF events.
VH1 was the video channel for your parents. Then came BET for those who wanted more R&B stuff.
The beginning of the end for MTV came with the emergence of the Video Jukebox (later known as just "The Box"), where you called in and paid to look at any video you wished to see at any time. That begat YouTube and the rest is history.

No, It's just the 24 hour dedicated music channels. the broader MTV brand and network will continue. MTV and Jersey Shore will live on.

YouTube was created because of the Janet Jackson nip slip. One of the founders of Youtube was trying to find a video of the incident after it happened and couldn't, so he came up with the idea for YouTube. A year after YouTube was founded it was bought by Google who turned it into what it is today.

That fits the point I was making: Being able to see whatever videos you want when you want.
