I’d really have to disagree about MTV. MTV is a much more iconic brand for a youth audience than C5 if I’m honest - I think there’d be a lot more potential viewers tuning into MTV than 5Star if they had the option, and it would be a more suited rival to BBC Three and ITV2.

I’ve just looked - and the MTV schedules basically now look like a PlutoTV channel to begin with, and they’re also carrying 5Star shows… It just doesn’t make much sense for me why they wouldn’t make that FTA shift now. If they made it free, maybe threw some South Park reruns on in the evening like ITV2 do with their adult animation, and called it a day - it would be making a lot more money with that than probably 5Star and MTV both do in their current states.

I agree what stated earlier about digital channels being "poor" these days for the younger audience due to streaming competition.

I'll add that I can't see MTV relaunching because mostly I can see Channel 5 having at least two digital extra channels: hence why MTV "can't" replace 5Star, and Channel 5 is clearly more popular; they can easily cater older people with this brand, which MTV wouldn't.

Also, MTV has had its days, it used to be the best thing for music and younger people, but now no more. I think they're better off keeping it as a pay channel as a sort of "5Star 2", which already at times is.
