Question Viacom has hired you, to refresh programming on one of its channels.

What channel do you pick? What do you program? Money isn't an issue. You can steal already existing shows, fix old ones, or just pick a different direction.

Viacom's biggest problem is commercial every 5 minutes.

USA get rid of all the repeats of modern TV shows and scrap reality shows and go back to the way it was pre 2000.

Turn TV Land (which really has no purpose) into Nick Classic. Just make it the Nick of the 1990s.

Or make Logo NickSplat.

I would make Logo NickSplat, and then get rid of Nick @ Nite. There is no use for it anymore. And then just add the classics on Logo (yes, all 4 shows) to TV Land.

Give each channel it's own identity. Nick at Nite and TV Land-Classic shows. Logo-Classic shows. CMT-Country. MTV and MTV2-Music Videos

I like Modern Family but agree with you about USA, it isn't nearly as good as use to be.

Yep as for Viacom owned stations CMT would get an overhaul by the way who owns the outdoor channel.

MTV. Would focus on more music programming, not just music videos, but music-based documentaries and original programming, with videos late at night for an hour or two. Would definitely cut back on the reality shows, or maybe just air it during the 10:00 hour like they used to do in the 90s.
