I think the whole set of networks should be sold off to someone who actually cares.hobbyfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08089664500077967952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6319982385052710495.post-11971261383630570872012-04-30T15:16:28.804-04:002012-04-30T15:16:28.804-04:00I became dissatisfied with MTV before I'd even...I became dissatisfied with MTV before I'd even graduated HS. <br /><br /><br />What they call MTV now is NOT the MTV I remember!! It was fun to watch music videos at all hours and interview shows like "The Cutting Edge" and "Liner Notes" were relagated to late nights.<br /><br />When the Monkees turned up it was great because the show had been out of circulation in my market for years and being a music oriented show (and essentially pioneering the concept of music videos as we knew them) it seemed a great fit. Suddenly it seemed like more and more alternate programming was taking up the schedule and it wasn't stuff I wanted to see.<br /><br />I turned away and haven't looked back in ages! I don't watch much TV anymore because of such piss poor programming! <br /><br /><br />As you pointed out, the problem is money talks and Viacom has been allowing this to go on because someway, somehow, it must be making a profit. <br /><br />Why else would this continue for all the networks under the Viacom umbrella?magicdoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10755186050643383954noreply@blogger.com
