So true.

i feel like MTV will try and "reinvent" themselves in a few years. trying to bring shows like TRL, Making the Video and all the other little music shows they had on. i think they will do this once the jersey shore and teen mom era ends. you know how us americans are, we get bored easily so im actually very surprised jersey shore is on season 4 to be honest. but we will tire of it soon, and i think MTV will want to TRY and bring back the music aspect of the M in MTV. it could actually do artists some good too.

TRF.

They kind of did already. There's an MTV channel that only plays music.

As for the original post, I agree with everything you said except for the TRL always shat on 106 & Park bit. Free & AJ>>>>>>

The biggest issue is that these reality shows are garnering them high ratings. So many people like to rant about how Music Television isn't actually about the music anymore. However, when you have a large amount of people tuning in to watch these reality TV shows such as Jersey Shore and Teen Mom it sends a different message to the ones in charge. They are here for whatever is making them the most profit. Unfortunately, the music shows just aren't cutting it.

There are three MTV channels that play (almost) nothing but music videos.

Step up your cable game y'all.

Did ya'll watch The Seven? TRL's replacement? No? That's why it was cancelled. No one is checking MTV for that anymore.

Truth. And even further, there's no comparison to discovering a new video by randomly turning on the TV and seeing it for the first time. That's how I discovered Regina Spektor (turning on the TV and seeing "Fidelity" on VH1), and since then I've always felt a very special connection to her music that is different from the one I feel towards those artists I met through YouTube. I can't quite explain it...

However, I gotta say I agree. Fewer and fewer people are tuning in to watch music videos and music-related programming, so MTV's just adapting to the (sad) times of reality and competition TV...

Oh, and for someone who suggested MTV3: Technically we already have Tr3s (which used to be MTV Tr3s) in the U.S., so it'd have to be MTV4
