MTV 00s was a pay-TV channel owned by Paramount Networks EMEAA carrying mainly music videos from the 2000s. It was launched on 2 August 2021, replacing VH1 Europe.[3][4] The channel was commercial-free.

History

From 29 May to 22 June 2020, MTV OMG was temporarily rebranded to MTV 00s.[5][6][7]

Starting from 5 June 2021, the channel VH1 Europe introduced more singles from the 00s era, and partially adapted its programming towards it. On 1 August 2021 — the 40th anniversary of MTV — VH1 Europe stopped its broadcasts and broadcast only 2000s singles under the MTV 00s name and logo.[8] Since 2 August 2021, the channel MTV 00s broadcast round the clock, having replaced VH1 Europe.[9]

The first music video seen was "Can't Fight the Moonlight" by LeAnn Rimes.[10] The channel carried some songs from 1999 which charted in 2000. The channel used the "Eurostile Unicase" font for its titles and overall branding.

The channel closed in Australia on 1 November 2025.[11]

Before the official closing date In Brazil, Claro TV+ removed MTV 00s along with its sister channels MTV Live, Nick Jr, MTV, Comedy Central, Nickelodeon, and Paramount Network on 29 December, replacing their programming with an informational slideshow.[12]

At 07:00 CET on 31 December 2025, MTV 00s (along with MTV's other music channels) closed in the Pan-European market, with its final music video being "Bye Bye Bye" by N*Sync.[13][14][15][16][17][18]

On 1 January 2026, after shutting down the European feed, MTV Israel launched its own local version of MTV 00s along with MTV Hits, with a minor change to the logo.[19]
