MTV 80s is a channel featuring music videos from the 1980s. It has a commercial-free schedule.
From 28 February to 31 March 2020, MTV 80s was broadcast for one month as a themed alternative to its host channel, MTV Classic UK, but was not planned as a full-time replacement. From 30 June 2020, until 5 October 2020, VH1 Classic Europe broadcast a block of MTV 80s programming from midnight until midday as a test bed for what would eventually become the permanent replacement to VH1 Classic Europe.
MTV 80s broadcasts around the clock in New Zealand since 1 July 2020 and Australia since 1 August 2023 replacing MTV Classic. On 5 October 2020, from 05:00 CET onwards, MTV 80s started broadcasting full-time, replacing VH1 Classic in Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean.
On 31 December 2025, MTV 80s will shut down globally [2] , due the company's restructuring policy.
As part of restructuring at Paramount Global UK & Australia, MTV 80s replaced MTV Classic in the UK from 6am on 31 March 2022. [3]
