you can run a channel on cheap shyt for a few years, but it always burns out. trashy reality shows are like drugs that people are getting to used to. the only way to keep ratings high is to up the ante, but if you do that eventually reality stars are going to either end up dead or in jail.

how about making music the most important part of MTV? music videos, live music, even behind the scenes stuff on the creative process of making music. then some non musical content that is culturally relevant to the various youth demographics that watch your damn music videos? they juggled this well in the 90s, i dont see why they dont just go back to the drawing board. american idol should have never been a fox show, that should have been MTV's idea from day one.

american idol
vevo
spotify

all that should have been natural outgrowths of MTV but they want to show us pregnant teenagers instead.

Exactly..across all their networks, including Nick, they need better shows man. with mtv specifically, they need to stop trying to appeal simply to a crowd that's not going to spend money or has fickle tastes
Nick at night is wack Now cause all those shows were JUST on air or are always on another network

Back when we were kids they was running shows our parents watch with their parents
shyt. Tv land don't even show the shows it was intended to show anymore

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.
:ohhh:

I had it, but my sister had it cut off by accident. (Her car I'm buying from her)Every time I hear You Earned It, I yell at the top of my lungs and switch to one of the other stations usually to be disapionted and flipping to the cd.
