If you want music videos on TV most Smart TVs carry the Vevo Music channels which show music videos and concerts non-stop.

Good grief! Not only is he set for life, but so are his children's children and so on and so on.

To be fair, that worked out to about $2500 per episode.

Thanks for the thread title update, but Channels is misspelled.

MTV already tested it in season and 39 and saw no dropoff when they replaced all their high appearance fee vets with essentially a cast of noobs + Michelle. In the off chance Paramount goes torched earth with all non CBS,programming they could always sell the rights to the show to Netflix,Peacock etc and it would continue there.
100% agree, some streamer would pick up the Challenge immediately if MTV dies. That would fit perfectly on an outlet like Peacock.

The Challenge is Paramount/CBS-related, so no Peacock.

As far as streamers go, Paramount-owned Pluto TV already has a 24/7 The Challenge channel.
