\n\tIt\u2019s hard to overstate the impact of the first 24-hour music video channel on the world\u2019s teens. But after four decades, and with the advent of Instagram\u2019s direct fan connections, the endless variety of clips on YouTube and now the Pandora\u2019s Box of AI video, the world\u2019s flagship music channel has arguably become a victim of its own success. <\/p>\n
\n\tAs such, MTV<\/a> today stopped showing a 24-hour feed of music videos in the UK after 38 years in rotation. MTV Music, MTV 80s, MTV 90s, Club MTV and MTV Live have all stopped broadcasting in the UK as well as Ireland, France, Germany, Austria, Poland, Hungary, Australia and Brazil.<\/p>\n \n\tThey went out just as the original American 24\/7 music video channel began, according to the BBC\u2019s Jono Reed: with the Buggles\u2019 sunny \u201cVideo Killed the Radio Star<\/a>.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tNot only is MTV ending some of its international music channels, which played music videos around the clock, but the main network is also canceling some of its long-running programming. Although it was a long time ago when the MTV flagship played actual music videos in the U.S., its programming in recent years has been reruns of the clip show\u00a0Ridiculousness. MTV was heavily trolled for its round-the-clock programming of the long-running series.<\/p>\n \n\tEarlier this year, sources told Deadline the\u00a0show was ending its run after 14 years<\/a>.<\/p>\n \n\tIn September, it was also reported that MTV had\u00a0canceled\u00a0Catfish: The TV Show\u00a0after nine seasons<\/a>\u00a0on the air.<\/p>\n
