Why did MTV stop playing videos?
MTV just gradually phased out all its music shows until they were only playing videos at night and between shows then they dropped completely around the mid 00s. It made its self irrelevant as a music channel as people stopped listening to one channel all mixed up and just went to their genre.
Is MTV still on the air?
It's been over 35 years since the world of music and pop culture changed forever with the words "ladies and gentlemen, rock and roll". Today, it's not about the music – Total Request Live ended after 20 years on air in 2008 – as we've now got reality gems like Catfish, Geordie Shore, Just Tattoo of Us and more.
