And just like that, it’s long gone.
MTV.com is absent. Kaput. Wiped off the experience of the Earth.
Mother or father company Paramount, previously Viacom, has tossed twenty-furthermore a long time of news archives. All that’s left is a placeholder website for reality demonstrates. The M in MTV – new music — is absent, and so is all the reporting and all the journalism done by audio and political writers at any time composed. It is as if MTV under no circumstances existed. (It is the very same for VH1.com, all long gone.)
And with it so substantially of my (youthful) lifestyle. I was the first focus on marketplace for MTV, and it is accurate: The moment I would get household, I would have it on pretty a great deal until eventually bedtime. I obtained all my information there, the good, the terrible, the funny.
I know, I know, they took the M out of MTV a long time in the past, but what a run they experienced, and how MTV dominated the tradition. I don’t know how many situations it changed arms, but just about every time it did, the new proprietor experienced no strategy what they had.
And now it is absent.

Wiping a news brand name and its whole archive from existence is deleting historic information, with MTV News which is many years of music & youth lifestyle record. A large loss to society, long term exploration and devastatingly cruel to journalists who abruptly have no record of all their tricky get the job done
