There has been constant chatter online about MTV channels shutting down in some parts of Europe. Amid growing buzz regarding MTV channels ceasing operations in certain European regions, fans in India began worrying that MTV India — a channel that is quite literally part of many childhood and teen memories — might also go off-air on December 31, 2025.
But don’t panic; we have good news for you: MTV India is here to stay.
### MTV India Addresses the Rumors
On Saturday, MTV India tackled all the rumors head-on by posting a video across its social media platforms. Calling out the “fake news forwarding community,” the channel reminded fans: “Don’t believe in the noise.”
Their caption read:
*”Hum kahin nahi ja rahe; and honestly, without us, your feed would be boring ?. MTV India yahin hai, with main character energy ?. Check your sources, fam. Kill that false alarm.”*
### Fans Are Taking Happy Sighs of Relief
Fans were quick to flood the comments with love and laughter. One user commented, “What a relief! ? Haters ka game baja diya!” Another remarked, “Yeh jisne rumor failayi, uski shaadi cancel ?” Meanwhile, another added, “MTV raised an entire generation for real ? MTV ka zamana humesha rahega.”
This strong reaction to the possible shutdown shows just how deep the bond is between the audience and the channel. MTV has long been the major teenage attraction — for songs, for its shows, and for the incredible memories it has created with its viewers.
### What Actually Happened?
The confusion started when Paramount Global, MTV’s parent company, announced that several MTV music channels in the UK — including MTV Music, MTV 80s, MTV 90s, Club MTV, and MTV Live — would go off-air on December 31, 2025.
However, this move affects only Europe. Even there, the main MTV channel will remain, albeit with a shift in focus towards reality TV rather than music.
### A Quick Look at MTV India
MTV India launched in 1996 and quickly became a pop culture icon. The channel evolved from playing back-to-back music videos to launching legendary youth reality shows such as *Roadies*, *Splitsvilla*, and *MTV Hustle*.
In 2016, MTV Indies, which focused on indie music, was replaced by MTV Beats — a 24/7 music channel. Since then, MTV India has gravitated more towards reality programming, while MTV Beats has taken over the music space.

Rest assured, MTV India remains an integral part of the entertainment landscape, continuing to bring fresh content and unforgettable moments to its loyal audience.
