More than two decades’ worth of content published on MTVNews is no longer available after MTV appears to have fully pulled down the site and its related content.
In 2023, MTV News was shuttered amid the financial woes of parent company Paramount Global. As of Monday, trying to access MTV News articles on mtvnews or mtv/news resulted in visitors being redirected to the main MTV website.
Former MTV News staffers posted on social media about the website shutdown and the scrubbing of the archives. “So, mtvnews no longer exists. Eight years of my life are gone without a trace,” Patrick Hosken, former music editor for MTV News, wrote on X. “All because it didn’t fit some executives’ bottom lines. Infuriating is too small a word.”
