MTV’s Fall from Glory — What Really Happened?

MTV is shutting down its UK music channels — so who really killed the video star? Exploring why music TV died and what replaced it in 2025. The golden age of the music video began with Video Killed the Radio Star — and now, decades later, MTV is switching off its UK music channels for good. In this week’s Listener Land, Louis, Geoff and Wayne dig into what really happened to music television and why the end of MTV feels like the end of an era. From the shift to reality shows and the rise of YouTube and TikTok to the loss of those huge budget videos that defined the ‘80s and ‘90s — we look at where the video star went, who replaced them, and whether it even matters anymore.
