A show called PopClips became MTV. It should be mentioned in the history ~2025-40257-20 (talk) 07:14, 13 December 2025 (UTC)Reply

No, MTV's American content is not shutting down.

Only their international presence is. MTV in the US & Canada will remain unaffected, at least for now. –Skywatcher68 (talk) 19:11, 16 December 2025 (UTC)Reply

Proposed addition regarding QUBE/Nickelodeon history and Nyhl Henson

Latest comment: 2 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I would like to propose adding a sourced early-history paragraph related to Warner Cable's Columbus/QUBE operation and its connection to early Nickelodeon development.

Suggested text:

Prior to MTV's launch, Warner Cable's Columbus QUBE operation served as an experimental programming environment that supplied programming to early satellite networks including Nickelodeon. Nyhl Henson, then general manager of the Columbus operation, oversaw a facility that reportedly supplied approximately 20 percent of Nickelodeon's programming. PopClips, a music-video program commissioned by Warner-Amex, later became an important precursor to MTV.
