For context, Viva's final programme (called "VIVA The Hits!") started at 2am on 31st January 2018 and lasted 4 hours, and then at 6am the channel closed down for the final time and Teleshopping followed, at which point on Freeview the channel was removed, and on Sky the channel became encrypted, requiring a subscription to watch the channel. 3 hours later, Teleshopping ended and the channel started back up as MTV Love, the first programme on MTV Love was called "Crazy in Love! Top 50" and aired at 9am on 31st January 2018.
@@mooseyexists There was a media article stating the episode You’re Getting Old was the series Finale and creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker were going to retire from doing anymore South Park seasons because they felt they were getting too old for it. VIVA probably read about it and thought the series was over. Then decided not to show it anymore
The last song to play on Viva UK and Viva Ireland is Viva Forever by the Spice Girls. Viva had a fantastic end to its broadcast by playing Viva Forever.
Sadly, as of 2019, there are no Viva's left. All Viva Channels had closed down. The German Language Viva's in Germany, Austria and Switzerland were the last ones. Viva Hungary and Viva Poland probably were the first ones, as they closed down in October 2017. It's pretty sad. And as Viva UK is gone, it's place wasn't left free to air. What a pity...
AS Films Yeah they thought it was the final episode after You’re Getting Old. Which is probably why they stopped it and replaced it with Teen Mom. It was the last episode I saw on VIVA
CDM 02 I watched the episode You’re Getting Old on VIVA, that was before they removed it off VIVA. I don’t know why they did, as South Park is one of the most popular shows they aired?
VIVA ended at 9AM and this was recorded at 6AM because it was the final song before teleshopping. At this time MTV OMG was MTV Love (but it was not shown)
@@DANLi_ Yeah, VIVA had wayyy more viewers in germany and as a consequence was more profitable than MTV (nobody even knows MTV here) but hey, the US HQ of Viacom probably gave the call to monopolize MTV worldwide, to make their brands...more consistent? Since the VIVA closedown MTV hasnt really gotten a rise in ratings, its been so bad that we now have a Timeshift version of MTV called "MTV+" that airs from 8.15 pm to 5.45 am on Nickelodeon. We have two MTV channels in prime time...and both fail to get 1/7 of the ratings that "Deluxe Music", a channel made by former MTV and VIVA employees, has. 0.0% (MTV) vs 0.7% (DM), it's nuts, Deluxe Music almost shut down a few years ago while MTV has one of the most powerful media corporations backing it.
Why did they get rid of South Park and Fresh Prince if those shows were highly popular? Im guessing they probably thought South Park had ended but they must have known it was still going, considering there was a new season and game etc
Not necessarily the worst but the damn channel airs too much God Forsaken shows and not music content it's similar to G4 where they aired syndicated programs such as COPS and Heroes instead of game based programming and then the channel went RIP in 2014 due to low views in the US not sure why the Canadian version closed but probably due to licensings expiring
@@bradleybaber4076 Because they removed shows and replaced them with reality shows and cheap comedies. For example they showed South Park and replaced it with Teen Mom. They replaced Fresh Prince with Two Pints Of Larger And A Packet Of Crisps.

Viva forever was such a perfect send off song to the channel. Rip viva

Farewell Viva. Watching South Park on there was a big part of my early teenage years.
They stopped it before the channel went because they thought the series had ended and the creators had retired

@@glx3846 But that episode was in 2011. South Park stopped showing on the channel in 2013
I don’t recall that episode ever being shown on Viva
i absolutely miss vivauk, it was such a good channel me and my mum used for listening to music etc
Same :( i remember gettin up early watching some top charts and penguins of madagascatr
Viva Was Our Legend, The Official Charts, Music, Shows, EVERYTHING!!! 🥺
I honestly cannot believe they closed down Viva UK. 😢
I see they had a fitting end by playing Viva Forever

Ye
@@mayceejadeparkes374tbh, most viacom's music channels usually ended with spice girls
Did anyone get the pun for the final song. VIVA Forever.
Reload I think we all did :)
And VIVA russia before the VIVA Bye! event

But what about Viva in Russia?? It was also last one to shut down, in 2019.
@@FG-gu9rn It was illegal.
@Joaquin Gonzalez Yeah. It was a pirated station.
Viva Brazil still exists but they do mostly reality shows.
@@GTAbestplayer123 VIVA Brazil and German VIVA have nothing to to with each othet.
VIVA in Latin America never existed,
although the graphics of the German version were sensational
Esta era la versión británica de VIVA, no la alemana.
Sad. I remember when South Park was on it
AS Films Yeah they thought it was the final episode after You’re Getting Old. Which is probably why they stopped it and replaced it with Teen Mom. It was the last episode I saw on VIVA
Shady Killaz I think VIVA showed up until series 13. 5STAR showed series 14-18 but then stopped for unknown reasons
And if I remember correctly Spongebob also showed on it

31/1/18 Last Day
Why did they close VIVA UK?
Low ratings. (maybe)
Because Viacom (MTV) wants to have the monopoly.
@@magazinu1 Apparently VIVA was profitable (in Germany at least), but they saw more opportunity in MTV, CC and another channel
