It’s funny to think about, i remember growing up it felt like BET was getting shows with less budgeting and less original programming. They used to show baby boy liek 5x’s a week. That and a few other hood classics. They had rap city, 106, college hill but that was the only handful of shows in the early 00’s. It felt like a lot of music tv budget went to MTV (and vh1 eventually) with all the award shows, reality shows, animation, and tons of other original drama’s and comedies.
Now it seems like MTV in general is just some dead placeholder network everyone completely forgot about. I think the only thing they show on it is reruns of catfish and ridiculousness. Not that anyone would know when new episodes were on. 16 and pregnant i remember being another one that they showed a lot idk if they still do.
Recently it feels like they’ve been trying to revive BET, they gave Tyler Perry a huge contract, it has a streaming network with other original content with BET+ and actually gets a bunch of new movies made specifically for it. It’s at least a step above Tubi at this point.
Why did they just completely throw mtv in the bushes? I feel like theres still potential to pander to millennial and gen x with new programming sort of how Max has done with warner bros content.
What do yall think?
