MTV UK to shut down five music channels by end of 2025 due to declining viewership.

MTV UK will shut down five music channels—MTV Music, MTV 80s, MTV 90s, Club MTV, and MTV Live—by end of 2025, with Paramount Global confirming the move. The closures reflect declining viewership due to streaming and social media, continuing a trend seen in previous shutdowns like MTVU and MTV News. MTV HD will persist with reality programming, and similar channel reductions may occur in Australia, Poland, France, and Brazil.
