MTV Classic (UK & Ireland)

MTV Classic was a British pay television music channel from Paramount Networks UK & Australia.

The channel was launched in the United Kingdom and Ireland on 1 July 1999 as VH1 Classic.

In late 2022 a feed of archive music videos, listed on the guide under the MTV Classic name, was made available on the British iteration of Paramount Global's streaming television platform Pluto TV, following shortly after the addition of other MTV-branded music video streams (film soundtrack stream MTV Movie Hits and seasonal pop-up MTV Xmas) to the lineup.

The Pluto streams are available at no cost to users and are separate to the MTV broadcast TV channels.

Viacom occasionally rebranded MTV Classic to a different name to air different kinds of music.
