MTV has ceased broadcasting its dedicated music-only channels in several international markets, including the UK, Australia, and Brazil, as of December 31, 2025. This move marks the end of an era for many who grew up with the iconic network, which launched in 1981. While flagship channels like the U.S. MTV continue with reality and entertainment programming, the music-focused outlets have been discontinued due to declining viewership and the rise of streaming platforms. The final broadcast often featured symbolic songs like "Video Killed The Radio Star."
