MTV News Repository of 460,000 Articles Launched by Internet Archive After Paramount Content Purge
After Paramount pulled MTV News offline, the Internet Archive assembled a searchable index of 460,575 pages previously published at mtv.com/news.
That includes MTV News’ well-known “Mixtape Mondays” weekly hip-hop column; a search on the Wayback Machine returned 2,919 results for that term. The company, facing financial challenges, similarly yanked down thousands of CMT articles and purged video content from Comedy Central. It’s possible Paramount will save on costs with the move, or it could be that the aim is to refine the sites’ search-engine optimization to push visitors to Paramount+ and Pluto TV streaming services.
