Reidy · 07-02-2006, 12:37

I have not watched MTV for 2 or so years now, but today being at home all day and having nothing to do i was flicking through and thought id watch a little MTV while surfing the net. But there is no music on it anymore i checked the MTV TV Guide and it says its all TV shows like Pimp My Ride and Punked where has all the music gone???? And how can they still get away with calling the channel MTV when there is No Music Television on it to watch!?

With the music they put on the other MTV channels I wouldn't want any music on MTV! Apart from MTV2; MTV is full of rubbish - corporate pop and American teen reality shows....makes you sick.
The only music channel I watch is VH2 - real music!!

shakermaker · 07-02-2006, 15:06

mtv is probably one of the best marketers of its channels anywhere.

it gets the young wiht its pop chanel - then it moves u on mtv where it creates a following. the fact that shows like cribs and pimp my ride, newlyweds etc are copied to death is a testimony of its appeal.

then for the music it gives u mtv2, base, and tmf

as u get older it gives u the vh1 chanels!

class!

though theyve gotta get rid of the ring tone ad's they're ficking annoying

SPUGGIE J · 08-02-2006, 12:34

Depends on what age you switch to VH1.

what u have to remember is that each generation is different to the next

what soem mite consider mtv having lost its soul others may see it as being more street than ever b4...

considering how mtv evolved from not playin vids by black artists to havin stations dedicated to black music just shows that even they have to adapt to change

"dedicated to black music"

we all know rap died when Tupac Shakur passed away; thugs talking about car wheels and arses, throwing dollar bills over girls in videos is NOT rap music.
and there hasnt been a decent RnB track since Marvin Gaye.
so no, MTV does not dedicate a channel to black music - it has a channel dedicated to the empty space that real music once occupied.
