Cancellation

Originally touted as "Quite simply the biggest show we have ever launched at MTV UK,"^[1] TRL didn't have the same impact as the USA's version did. The USA's version kickstarted the careers of Britney Spears and Eminem,^[2] but TRL did not do this for UK-based acts.

Low ratings led to the show's cancellation in December 2005 and Dave Berry went on to work as a presenter for CD:UK.
