Montreal's own Aldo Nova.
Had a bit of success in the early 80's.

I played pool with him in a bar in 1997 and he offered me cocaine.
I don't like cocaine so he got me a beer instead

After 44 Years, MTV Is Officially Dead

After 44 years, MTV is shutting down all music-only channels globally. Here’s what you need to know about the end of an era.

collider.com

By today (December 31st 2025), MTV has finally shut down its reaming 24 hour music video channels. MTV will no longer be known as Music Television, as it originally rolled out as in 1981. It will still keep its main flagship channel, but only focus on entertainment and reality TV slop.

The writing was on the wall, and MTV has been in a slow decline since like 2008. With Youtube, TikTok and other social media sites hosting the majority of music videos, I don't think anyone cares.

MTV's 24-Hour Music Channels Shut Down Across the Globe

As of today (December 31st), MTV's remaining 24-hour music channels worldwide are going dark.

Just to add more:

The decision to shut down MTV's music channels comes as Paramount Skydance seeks to cut costs across its global portfolio following its merger earlier this year.

That sounds about right.
