Did MTV Shut Down on New Year’s Eve? The Truth Is Messier, but More Interesting

The phrase "the end of an era" is tossed around frequently these days, but New Year's Eve truly marked the end of an era when it came to MTV.All of MTV's 24-hour music channels have been shut down, including MTV Music, MTV 80s, MTV 90s, Club MTV, and MTV Live. Contrary to what fans on the internet have been saying, this doesn't meant the end of MTV itself. The main MTV channel will still continue to operate, though its programming will vary wildly — and veer far, far away from what made MTV the culture-defining juggernaut it originally started out as.
