The MTV News archive has been taken offline


Over 20 years of music history is gone.

The archives of the MTV News website, which had remained accessible online after the unit was shut down last year by parent company Paramount Global, have now been completely taken offline. Although the MTV News website was no longer publishing new stories, its extensive archive, dating back over two decades to its launch in 1996, remained online. According to Variety, Paramount Global also took down the archives of MTV News sister site CMT.com last week, which featured several decades’ worth of journalism focused on the country music industry.
