However, due to declining viewership, the television channel was taken off the air on September 30, 2009. After the channel's closure, some programs were moved to other specialty channels (including MTV Japan), DTH satellite channels and terrestrial television networks. New programs made their national television premiere on other channels: For example, The Penguins of Madagascar made debut on NHK Educational Television on April 4, 2010. However, the official website is still online, with program information, website games and downloadable content, etc. In October 2017, Viacom brought back into the brand in Japan starting on January 30, 2018. It is currently available exclusively on dTV (a subscription TV streaming service of NTT Docomo) and Hulu Japan.[1][2]

gollark: It... works, I guess.
