After 44 years on the air, MTV — once the pulse of pop culture — is officially signing off.

Launched in 1981 with The Buggles’ “Video Killed the Radio Star,” MTV transformed how the world experienced music, helping launch the careers of legends like Madonna, Michael Jackson, and Nirvana.

Over time, the network shifted away from music videos and toward reality shows and reruns, gradually losing the cultural influence that once defined a generation. Now, parent company Paramount Global has announced that MTV will be phased out by 2025, making way for a full transition to digital content under the Paramount brand.
