MTV is set to close all of its music channels around the world — except in the US — as part of massive cuts after a company merger.
The Sunhas revealed the American music brand is set to announce the cull after its parent company, Paramount, merged with Skydance Media earlier this year.
For UK fans, it means the closure of five channels, including MTV Music, MTV 80s, MTV 90s, Club MTV and Live HD. But the flagship MTV channel, which only airs reality TV shows, will not be affected.
It marks the end of music videos on telly, with MTV a popular satellite and cable channel in the 1990s and 2000s.
The Sun has confirmed that the music channels will be pulled from air on Wednesday, December 31.
Update (1/2/26): Many MTV channels played 'goodbye'-themed songs as their final music videos, including Spice Girls' "Goodbye", Rihanna's "Don't Stop the Music" on Club MTV., "Time to Say Goodbye" by Sarah Brightman and Andrea Bocelli on MTV 90s, and "Bye Bye Bye" by N*SYNC on MTV 00s. MTV Music UK signed off with a nod to its past: "Video Killed The Radio Star" by The Buggles, the very first music video that MTV played in the U.S. when the channel launched.
In another blow to the once global music powerhouse, stations in Europe, Asia, Latin America, Australia and New Zealand are also being axed. The cost-cutting measures are also affecting MTV's sister channel, Nickelodeon, with Nickelodeon-branded channels, including Nickelodeon, TeenNick and NickMusic also set to shutter in many of these regions, although, at the time of posting, Nickelodeon, Nicktoons and Nick Jr. are expected to remain broadcasting in the U.K. and Ireland fo the time being.
A source said: “It’s a dark day for the music industry.
“MTV was once an industry powerhouse but now is a total shell of its former self.
“All channels bar the main MTV station are being axed — but even that only airs reality TV shows like Geordie Shore.
“An official announcement is likely coming but the last air date is New Year’s Eve.
“The channel is a victim of the rise of streaming.”
It was revealed in August how MTV UK was axing its UK production arm.
A source said at the time: “To say there has been a bloodbath of cuts would be an understatement.
“Staff are in tears as some have been there for decades.”
Stars including Kelly Brook, Emma Willis, Cat Deeley, Greg James and Joel Dommett all appeared on the station early in their careers.
MTV told The Sun they had no comment about the closure of the channels.
