## Resource

If you've been online this past week, you've likely seen countless headlines and social posts paying tribute to the "end of MTV." But what exactly is ending? On the new Billboard Pop Shop Podcast, we're sorting through all the memorials to discuss the real story, which is that MTV shuttered the last remaining music-only channels throughout the world -- but the move doesn't impact the version of MTV that U.S. viewers can very much still tune into.
