"Nobody wants their MTV. What's behind Viacom's alarming ratings collapse?"

[Spiritual Stratocaster]

If you make compelling television people will come. Game of Thrones is getting like 7-8 million viewers an episode and that's on a fukking PREMIUM network. I haven't watched MTV in years.

That Rob Dyrdek show gets played most of the damn day

I fukking hate dude now. He was cool with Rob & Big then he go Fantasy Factory THEN he got the video clip show with it MTV's Americas Funniest Videos... like enough already!

I watch Martin re-runs and teen wolf. Sometimes actual videos depending on the time.

 

[Cool Dr. Money]

Pretty much this...

I understand that we can watch videos at any time now but I see no harm in having multiple music blocks throughout the day.

They should consider a throwback Thursday block where they play old school MTV shows all day for a while. Teen Nick did this awhile ago and the ratings improved significantly.

Hell, people can only handle so many episodes of. Ridiculousness.and Teen Mob in one day they should of have seen this coming.

whats missing is the balance, video block, a informative news show for young people, then you have your tv shows. and another factor theres too many channels most people have a set number of channels they watch everything else gets thrown in the bushes

Teen Wolf is a guilty pleasure and the only reason I ever put it on MTV.

This video explains why MTV doesn't play music videos anymore:

Bruh that damn video had me bawling. And its so real.

They need to bring Beavis and Butt-head back...again.

I paused and googled him while I read the article. Family changed name to Redstone from Rothstein.

Viacom fukked up. They use to steal from BET before they bought them to see what was hot and play it on MTV. Now they have no one to steal from particularly black folks to set the trends. They done bought up everything and now have to manufacture things themselves.

fukk them I hope Viacom and Clear Channel both go to hell....they done destroyed black mainstream music.
