MTV suits, I'm sure, are tired of all the complaints about excising music videos from MTV, VH1, CMT, & MTV Classic, so they're finally doing something about it.
Starting September 1, MTV will revert to its old format of nothing but music videos, as the network begins to build toward the 2025 Video Music Awards, which this year shifts to step-sister network CBS on September 7, opposite Sunday Night Football. Oh, like that's going to juice the ratings. NOT! Simulcasting on MTV is an option to put a capper on this week of nostalgia.
Unfortunately, MTV itself won't air videos. They'll air instead on MTV2, VH1, & MTV Classic. Cowards.
Past VMA winners (i.e. Janet Jackson, Mariah Carey, Beyonce) and former VJ's (i.e. Carson Daly, Martha Quinn, Adam Curry) alike will be in the studio to queue up the music. None of the names mentioned have been confirmed. After all, we've still got 2+ months before this is all set. However, once the VMA's end, so does the return to old school MTV.
And, for an old school fan like me, this will give me some alternatives for a few days. This will be fun.
