MTV News articles, which tackled significant progresses in music for decades, all went down the drain as its website gets reportedly pulled offline on Monday.

Netizens who try to access MTV.com/news or MTVNews.com are automatically redirected to the main MTV website.

This, after parent company Paramount Global officially shuttered MTV News while also slashing its US workforce by 25% last May 2023, so it could "reduce costs and create a more effective approach to the business".

Decrying the deleted decades-worth of work just to break the latest pop culture events, former employees of MTV News took to social media to express their sentiments.

MTV News former music editor Patrick Hosken and one-time entertainment director Crystal Bell both questioned the logical reasoning behind the deletion.

"So, mtvnews.com no longer exists. Eight years of my life are gone without a trace," Hosken wrote on X.

"Decades of music history gone...including some very early k-pop stories," Bell added.

MTV News started and became popular in the 1980s, when Rolling Stone editor-turned-TV host Kurt Loder became the media organization's first correspondent. 

Throughout the years, the news operations ventured different approaches — even going online to rebrand in 2016 — until almost all its staff got terminated and plug was pulled out.
