By the end of 2000, Metro was spun with completely new programming and had added on more sports programming, including "Game Face with Dave Sims". Management also hired new producers, who changed much of the programming including its flagship "Studio Y" and had deleted the panelists, focused on two new hip-hop hosts and converted the show to a hip-hop format. Both shows dissolved in early 2001. By 2002, Metro had joined with New York Magazine and thus, a new identity for Metro was in place, which basically eradicated the MetroStories channel. The partnership was designed to add more original shows, including "Subway Q&A" (a Q&A show based on the New York City Subway) and "To Live and Date in New York" (a dating show focusing on NY singles).
