'''''Total Request Live''''' (commonly abbreviated as '''''TRL''''') is an American television program that premiered on [[MTV]] on September 14, 1998. The early version of ''TRL'' featured popular [[music video]]s played during its countdown and was also used as a promotion tool by musicians, actors, and other celebrities to promote their newest works to target the show's [[Teen culture|teen demographic]].

During the original run of the program, ''TRL'' played the ten most requested music videos of the day, as voted on by viewers via phone or online. The show generally aired Monday through Thursday for one hour, though the scheduling and length of the show fluctuated over the years. Although ''TRL'' was billed as a live show, many episodes were prerecorded. Due to declining ratings, and the larger decline of music-based television in favor of online services, MTV announced the cancellation of ''TRL'' on September 15, 2008.<ref name="Report: MTV to Cancel TRL">{{cite news |last=Carlson |first=Jen |date=September 16, 2008 |title=MTV Puts an End to TRL |work=[[gothamist]] |url=https://gothamist.com/arts-entertainment/mtv-puts-an-end-to-trl |access-date=July 22, 2022}}</ref> The special three-hour finale episode, '''''Total Finale Live''''', aired on November 16, 2008.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1597023/20081014/knowles_beyonce.jhtml|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081017113121/http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1597023/20081014/knowles_beyonce.jhtml|url-status=dead|archive-date=October 17, 2008|title=Beyonce To Perform On 'TRL' Finale|website=[[MTV]]}}</ref>
