I want my MTV
MTV started as a channel purely for music. It was a station that promoted new artists, and gave people the thing they wanted to see most- their favorite artists performing their favorite songs in music videos. This was a revolutionary approach in the music industry- mass visual production. However, as the years went on the ratio of music videos to other programs significantly decreased, to the point where today programs called Sixteen and Pregnant and Disaster Date are taking over where TRL used to air. Why do you think, besides the increased popularity of YouTube, it is not custom for a channel short for Music Television to virtually air no music? Should the channel change its name because of false advertising?
