MTV Hive

MTV Hive was MTV's online music video portal and its editorial mouthpiece for coverage of indie music genres, providing music news and music on-demand. It is the successor to the former MTV Music website in the United States, which was merged into MTV Hive as of January 2012. On October 31, 2013, MTV Hive tweeted that it was transforming into @MTVArtists, a Twitter feed. The MTV Hive web site has not been actively updated since December 2013, but MTV currently provides similar news and features in the music section of its main web site, at mtv.com/music. All content has been merged into MTV News and MTV Artists Platform.
