Superfan Corrals 33,000 Music Videos and Classic Commercials on ‘MTV Rewind’ Site After Shutdown of Overseas Music-Only Channels

The move came after the once-influential network shuttered its remaining 24/7 music channels across a number of European and overseas territories in December.

In the end, video didn’t just kill the radio star, it did itself in as well. After MTV’s parent company pulled the plug on its remaining music-only channels in the U.K., Ireland and Australia on New Year’s Eve — including MTV Music, MTV ’80s, MTV Live, Club MTV and MTV ’90s, among others — as part of a $500 million cost-cutting effort, fans of the once-dominant media brand lamented the end of an era.

And while false rumors suggested the move meant a total shutdown of the MTV brand — it did not — many former admirers were still moved to pay tribute to the formerly vital music video channel that made megastars out of Prince, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Bruce Springsteen and so many more in the 1980s and ’90s.
