I didn’t even realize this was still around. Others on social media made similar comments. It was a culturally irrelevant brand in 2023 so it is easy to see why the decision was made to get rid of it.
If we are to be honest, the entire MTV brand faded into total irrelevancy after MTV started pushing rap, stopped featuring music videos and began airing all sorts of reality TV garbage.
The MTV News segment was basically a product of a world that no longer exists. The brand was closely associated with Kurt Loder who did the on-air news during a time when the Internet was not a thing.
MTV NEWS SPECIAL REPORT:
The body of Nirvana leader Kurt Cobain was found in a house in Seattle on Friday morning, dead of an apparently self-inflicted shotgun blast to the head

The original concept for MTV actually wasn’t horrible when it originally launched. It was relatively unique for the early 1980s. Unfortunately, it quickly became another vehicle that was used to push increasingly more pozzed Jew bullshit.
