MTV2 will be discontinued on March 29, 2024

Over on the Canadian Digital Home site another Paramount owned channel is pulling the plug later at the end of the month. MTV2 will be removed from TV providers such as Sasktel, Telus, and Hay Communications. From the wikipedia article it says: "In Febuary 2024, Hay Communications and Telus announced on their websites that the channel would be wound down permanetly on March 29 2024. This would leave the main MTV channel to be the last remaning Paramount Global channel owned by Bell Media." 
We had Paramount Network shut down at the end of 2023 here in Canada now MTV2? Who watches MTV2 anyway. But the american one is staying on. No word if that one will be shutting down too.

From Steve Faguy in Montreal:

"According to the latest CRTC data for the 2021-22 broadcast year, MTV2 had about 750,000 subscribers (including zero satellite TV subscribers), about $215,000 in total advertising revenue, and had cut expenses by 84% in four years to try to shrink itself back into profitability."

Bell’s MTV2 becomes latest casualty of specialty channel decline
