What happened to Arthur TV and his YouTube channel? Why did Arthur TV change channels or change his name?
Nothing has happened to Arthur TV beyond a channel move: as of November 2026 he is still posting, now on a channel under his real name, Arthur Frederick. His original Arthur TV channel now carries the line “Moved over to the new @Arthur_Frederick channel,” and its newest uploads, clips of 90 Day Fiancé’s Big Ed and Liz, are about two years old. The new channel, opened September 14, 2022, describes him as “Also known as ArthurTV or Arthur TV,” and has passed the old one, with about 774,000 subscribers and more than 1,000 videos. We found no interview or statement from him explaining why he moved, so we do not guess at a reason. The old channel stays up with its 200 videos and playlists to “binge sagas in order.” He still uses the Arthur TV name elsewhere: his TikTok and Instagram handles are @arthurtv, and his gaming channel is ArthurTV Plays, opened June 3, 2023. The other change is a group: since January 26, 2026 he has appeared on Friends From Work, a channel that lists him, ItalianBach, Arthur Hill and George Clarkey among its featured channels, posts every Friday, and had about 545,000 subscribers by November 2026, with videos such as We Went on Britain’s Cheapest Holiday at about 1.7 million views.
What happened to Arthur TV’s hair?
Arthur TV’s new hair was the subject of his own podcast around August 2026: the Bach and Arthur Podcast posted an episode titled Our Honest Take on Arthur’s New Hair & Bach’s New Nose which had about 135,000 views by November 2026. We have not verified what he says in the episode, so we do not describe the change further.
What happened with Arthur TV and the surfboard?
As of November 2026 we found no source describing a surfboard incident involving Arthur TV, in his own video descriptions or in any outlet we accept. The closest thing on his own channel is a video titled Facing my fear of the ocean..., posted about a year earlier, with about 244,000 views. We do not repeat versions of the story that exist only on social media.
Why did Arthur TV drop out of Midoffs?

The Midoffs is a speedrunning tournament run on stream by Tubbo, whose fourth edition aired on his channel in 2026 (THE MIDOFFS 4 - DRAFT; one player’s video calls it Tubbo’s Speedrunning Tournament). Arthur TV does stream games on Twitch and posts the clips to ArthurTV Plays, but none of its recent uploads mention the Midoffs. If he or the event says more on the record, this entry will add it.
Is Arthur TV the Arthur TV show? What happened to the Arthur show, and why did it end?
No, this entry is about Arthur TV the YouTuber, Arthur Frederick, not Arthur, the PBS Kids cartoon about an aardvark. The cartoon ended in February 2022 after 25 seasons, per ABC7 News (February 22, 2022), which reported that no official reason was given: screenwriter Kathy Waugh said she did not know whether it was a ratings issue or the show “needed to be retired,” and PBS said reruns would continue. Questions about the show’s cast, characters, theme song and specials belong to the cartoon. He is also not Arthur Hill, a separate YouTuber who appears alongside him on Friends From Work.

Who represents Arthur TV?
As of November 2026, no agency or manager is named for Arthur TV on his links page or his YouTube channel pages, and we found none in trade press.

If that changes, this entry will say so.
Our read
Ames Create does not work with Arthur TV. This is our view, from a team that works on creator brands for a living.
The format. He watches the internet so you do not have to: a single host reacting to clips, posts and reality TV, with dry asides and themed compilations (cheaters, weddings, airports, customer service). The old channel ran long 90 Day Fiancé sagas in order; the new one runs faster, about two uploads a week, plus a podcast, a gaming channel and a Friday group show.
Why it travels. His titles promise a type of person behaving badly, which travels on search and recommendation week after week, and most new uploads clear 200,000 views. Friends From Work, the group channel with ItalianBach, Arthur Hill and George Clarkey, has moved him into challenge and travel videos that pull a million views or more.
Brand fit. Food delivery, travel and consumer apps fit the compilations, which already feature them by name, and his links page lists Footasylum Lock In Season 2 among his past series. The Friends From Work group is the bigger brand vehicle: one booking reaches four creators’ audiences at once.
