I want my MTV

It appears MTV is closing in Europe and a couple countries in South America, but not in the US.
 
MT basically stopped being a music channel years ago. People go to YouTube and sites like that now to check out music. MTV Canada shut down a year ago, and our national channel Much (formerly MuchMusic, also formerly a music-oriented channel) took over its programming.
 
So sad thats where Kennedy came from on Fox News ...Never watched MTV
 
Two channels I have never watched, MTV and SNL
 
I watched MTV on TV probably 15 years ago once or twice and saw nothing redeemable.

Somewhere in the 2000s they were down to <3 hours of videos per day, not long after they went to all Reality TV dung.

I was a kid in the 80s and remember we were too poor to have the add-on channels like MTV, but my best friend had it. I'd go to his house that first MTV summer every day and flip it on as soon as I got there. We were always sports junkies, constantly playing outside, but that first summer of MTV turned me into a couch potato and zombie, lol.

It may have been longer ago than that, maybe the 90's. I can't remember. I'm a dinosaur, since I still have a Sony cassette walkman.

by the time i discovered MTV their other new channel VH1 was the main channel for continuous music..... MTV had already been relegated to reality shows and adult cartoons... (beavis and butthead - aeon flux - doctor katz and etc).... .VH1 was something we left running on the tv to listen to but never just sat there and watched it -

but what killed both MTV and VH1 ...(in my opinion)... was when rap took over popular culture and destroyed creativity that once produced real music......

Yes, when MTV started going off the rails in the '90s I quickly transitioned to VH1. They had lots of behind the scenes stuff that talked about history of bands, and other special concerts and things. It became much better, in my not so humble opinion.
 
This was a fun song and video. The key change at 3:45 always gets me—when equalized right and played on good speakers, that is.

 
Sorry but us real christians have no idea what MTV is or was…or ever will be.
Hay-man!
