I suspect the single biggest factor is the decline in advertising revenue.
I believe the loss of a single sponsor was behind the closure of Club MTV.
For me personally, music channels have been locked in a vicious circle.
They clearly don’t generate enough revenue to justify carriage in HD and they fall further behind in picture quality.
HD has been standard for new music videos for a very long time and many older videos are now remastered / upscaled in 4K on YouTube.
