MTV to Close Five Music Channels by Dec 2025
MTV, the platform that defined music television, is being impacted by on-demand streaming. Four decades after its start, the company is shutting down its dedicated music-video channels.
By 31 December 2025, five MTV music channels will cease operations in the UK and Ireland, with other regions to follow. This decision is a result of the parent company, Paramount, reducing linear music TV as viewers increasingly prefer phones over programme guides.

Video had killed the radio star.
The decision to close the music channels is due to the shift in viewer preferences towards on-demand streaming. As reported by Billboard, Broadband TV News, and Variety, the music-only MTV feeds no longer fit the 2025 TV economy.
