Why are MTV tagging a programme that went out an hour ago across the rest of Europe as "LIVE" on MTV UK?

What's worse, is @MTVUK is tweeting all the results as they happen!

:mad:

    and why the hell is MTVNHD around 2 hours behind in showing the concert? MTV is terrible quality and still is in 4:3

    the reason why MTV UK are an hour behind is because of The X Factor.

    I assume it's also in case Ke$ha says "piss" and "****" too. Like she did.

    It's awful production. The picture quality and sound is rubbish. Now that Kid Rock is on I'm turning it off.

    Given up on this, poor lighting, camerawork and pq meant you couldn't even see Kings Of Leon perform, could have been anyone on that stage. Was watching the HD channel. The sound quality was terrible too.

    Now as they dont have ads they're playing a Ricky Martin video. Why? It's not live!

    Presumably to avoid programme clashes?

    It's ALWAYS an hour delayed on MTV UK so they can edit it and remove anything they don't want broadcast. AKA Weemans penis from Jackass.

    On the HD version, we had all the swears AND the little mans arse, cock and balls. :eek:

    The only edit I saw was a t-shirt with the word C-U-N-T blurred out. But then it was visible from another shot.

    Maybe it's different in Europe. Some of the things I saw on German TV last time I was over there though... :D;)

    I believe the MTVN HD we get is the same one across all of Europe.

    It's still live. It's just shown as a live recording, rather than a live broadcast.

    The ema's are shown across europe at 9:00 cet, which would have been 8:00 uk time.

    The reason we dont see it live is that as you know programmes that show bad language or nude have to be shown here after 9:00, so we dont see the ema's livefor that reason.

    Can anyone remember back when mtv europe was the only channel in europe, how did it all work.
    I'm sure back then it would of been a problem.

    I noticed it was 'live' on MTV Germany, Austria and even VIVA Poland.

    I thought it was a live broadcast. Now you mention I think that's what Sky News do when they show CBS News, they just edit out the US adverts before showing. Could I be right?

    I believe it used to kick off at 2100 cet- no concessions were made for the UK. There used to be a small delay around 2000 onwards until around 2005 and now sadly we have to endure a hours delay.

    The US VMAs used to be shown live in the UK but because of editing ad breaks etc at that crazy hour it was decided to show the show on a day's delay.

    I was watching the EMAs on MTV Base and it was all unedited. Strange as they're always edited (VMAs, EMAs). I don't see the point in editing seeing as it's broadcast after the "watershed" though :confused:
