MTV Canada is officially being taken off the air

You won't see MTV Canada on your TV after the end of this year.

Bell Media, the company that owns the English specialty channel, confirmed to us that MTV Canada's run will come to a halt just before its silver jubilee.

If you love tuning in to nostalgic Jersey Shore and Just For Laughs reruns, prepare to find another way to watch them. The channel will close on December 31, 2024. 

The reason for this decision might sound familiar to anyone who has followed media and broadcasting changes in the last few years—changing audiences.

"Bell Media has made the decision to cease broadcasting MTV due to changing audiences on Specialty TV," a spokesperson told us via email Friday morning.

"Bell Media and Paramount maintain a strong content licensing partnership, providing viewers with programming across both our linear and digital platforms. Original Canadian content is not impacted by the change."

A small minority is sad about the end of an era.

However, most people had no idea MTV Canada even existed before news about its upcoming demise broke.

It looks like Bell made the right call after all.
