MTV didn’t renew the lease on its glass-fronted studio overlooking New York’s Times Square and the space will revert to the landlord at the end of the year, the New York Post reports.


The network opened the space 12 years ago for its audience participation show TRL, which became very popular and made a star of its host, Carson Daly. The crowds of screaming teens it drew to the street below helped in the transformation of Times Square from seedy to tourist-friendly.


The network declined to comment.
