Nooo I have MTV music on in the background while at home. This sucks.

Re: Virgin TV (2025)
 

aye I'm the same chief! has less adverts than youtube too these days!

Re: Virgin TV (2025)
 

To be clear, not all MTV channels are closing.

Re: Virgin TV (2025)
 

aye but its just the ones without any music on usually....like ice truckers and random stuff like that isn't it?! so MTV lives on but without much music!

Re: Virgin TV (2025)
 

I havent watched MTV since the early 2000's.
On further research, I think you are right, mainly crappy "reality" stuff is being kept.

Re: Virgin TV (2025)
 

I wonder what the 'M' is supposed to stand for now?

Mishmash, maybe?

Re: Virgin TV (2025)
 

Good question mate as the M used to stand for Music if i remember correctly.

With the likes of Youtube i think music channels are becomming a thing of the past now, does the vm boxes have youtube or spotify on them as that might be a option for you for background music.

Re: Virgin TV (2025)
 

Yeah I guess so. Although MTV aren't on the ball when it comes to up-to-date releases like YouTube, the playlists on mtv are easy to listen to.

I guess smarttube needs using more. Spotify mods are no more with accounts being terminated for those using modded Spotify apks.

Re: Virgin TV (2025)
 

Music channels are diminishing rapidly. I can’t think why, as they must be as cheap as chips to run.

Yes, I use YouTube on my 360 box now, but it’s not the same.

Re: Virgin TV (2025)
 

Is it Showaddywaddy or the New Seekers that gets your toes tapping OB?

Re: Virgin TV (2025)
 

The Wurzels, or the Andrews Sisters… ;)

Re: Virgin TV (2025)
 

I can't watch them as it is a cycle of: three videos, five minutes of ads

I use Youtube Premium for music videos.

Re: Virgin TV (2025)
 

Christ! That was a former life!

Try Taylor Swift for a start!

I think, actually, It is a good use of FAST channels to use them for music videos. It would be a great way of discovering stuff you would not have picked up yourself.

There are now rumours that the date for the European MTV channels to start closing is on November 30th. Since this is a French post, it also mentions that MTV itself is potentially closing in France, alongside other Paramount brands like Paramount Network, Comedy Central, BET and Game One. The only remaining channels in France will be the Nickelodeon feeds.

I wonder if any of the Paramount channels available in the UK are at risk?
