If you want your MTV,EAI Community  it just got a lot harder to find.

The archives of MTV News were deleted Monday, removing decades of music journalism from the internet.

The links to mtvnews.com and mtv.com/news began to redirect to MTV's homepage, Variety reported. The links continued to redirect to the home page as of Wednesday evening.

The archives contained work from the news site's founding in 1996 that documented the rise of multiple stars and genres.

The music channel's news operation was shut down in 2023 as a part of a round of layoffs conducted by parent company Paramount. The layoffs cut 25% of jobs from companies owned by Paramount.

CMT (formerly Country Music Television), also owned by Paramount, removed its news archives from its site last week, according to Variety.

USA TODAY reached out to Paramount Global.
