MTV-2 sucks now too. It's nothing but hip hop videos and reruns of Jackass and Wildboyz.

yes, but you should expect MUSIC from a channel called "Music Television".

It is the lack of music video airplay why the music industry is so jaded.

There are no true "superstars" right now. There's artists like 50 Cent, Usher, Gwen Stefani, Eminem, etc.. who sell a lot of records, but there are no real icons right now, and it's because MTV is not giving videos the 100% support they used to. Why do you think people have resorted to doing reality shows? it's the only exposure MTV will give them now!

In the 80's, you had people like Michael Jackson, Madonna, Guns N Roses, Prince, Duran Duran.... that became members of your home because you saw their videos so much. In the 90's, it was Nirvana, Aerosmith, Snoop, Mariah, etc.. These artists and their videos became superstars and icons. Everyone of a certain age remembers watching Thriller. Can you say this generation feels the same way about watching Yeah? Even if the song was as big as they got, the video got about as much airplay as a song that would've peaked at #70 would've gotten in 1987.

Nowadays, there are a lot of songs that are huge that I've heard on cd and radio, but honestly can't say I've ever seen the video. Why not? MTV would rather be airing episodes of The Inferno and reality shows with Chad Michael Murray.

I don't care what anyone says about MTV, I still enjoy watching it.

MTV isn't music tv anymore, it's reality tv. Try FUSE, they're everything MTV once was.

I remember back in the early 80's where MTV was popular. I used to love it since I was a kid. But now, it's down the drain. I've seen that one this morning right before the bus came to work. Now, I don't watch MTV anymore. That's a shame! MTV was a great channel for almost the last 25 years since it came on the air in 1981 playing "Video Killed the Radio Star" by the Buggles. This would make this channel more like the new K-Rock since it was adjust its format from old rock to new rock music.

I'm 34 now. From age 10 to age 25, the target demographic of MTV got younger and younger. Then around age 28, "young people" started focusing on getting their content from the internet. And people in their 30s and older, who were desperately clinging to their youth, became the target demographic of MTV because younger viewers didn't even watch TV anymore.

Steve to MTV: "Hey, man,. you still suckin'?"

When MTV was introduced to the world in 1981 with the launch of their very first music video which was performed by the group The Buggles MTV knew that they were destined for success and soon with pop artists like Madonna and Cyndi Lauper and Paula Abdul to rock groups such as Whitesnake and Duran Duran having music videos of their hit songs MTV proved that music videos would work magic for artists to make songs hits. Soon after MTV became successful VH1 started copying MTV's style and started having their own music video shows. But as R&B and rap music became popular MTV started adding R&B music and rap videos of artists such as Usher and The Fresh Prince and Chaka Khan and Prince MTV and VH1 had to share competition with BET and the no longer existing music video channel The Box because with R&B and rap music becoming even bigger than ever MTV's music video popularity began to boom. But it wasn't until the debut of MTV's first reality show The Real World that MTV would start focusing on developing other shows besides being a 24-hour music channel and if it wasn't for The Real World and their very first game show Remote Control shows like MTV's Singled Out and My Super Sweet Sixteen and other reality shows would not exist on MTV today. But MTV still showed music videos when Total Request Live debuted that launched the career of host Carson Daly and Total Request Live was so successful at launching music videos of hot new artists that would be huge in the years ahead. But if MTV created a new music video channel that showcases the classic music videos and even show reruns of concerts and movies such as Spice World and The Beatles Yellow Submarine and Magical Mystery Tour MTV would return to it's music video format once again for all the world to see
