Music TV isn't going to change for the better.

Look at Radio1 and the DJ's now compared to the 80's/90's.

Radio just like Music TV want to appeal to a demographic that appears to be getting younger and younger and doesn't really exist. Not all young people are the same yet Music TV and Radio think they are.

Clubland tonight - some of the same songs are appearing more than once an hour. Nicer selection, but don't want to hear Foxes, Idina Menzel and Nervo repeated over and over.
Foxes is fine but Idina Menzel Please tell me they aren't playing that song on Clubland now!?

I haven't been able to watch the music channels as I'm working at Edinburgh Fringe, does anyone have any screenshots of Summer Bliss and MTV Summer? I want to see how awful they look

Summer Bliss? Seems a desperate last chance to flog in some viewers.

Don't like Foxes, but they had others they just played all the time - Binary Finary for example which I quite like, but it was the same songs every hour bar the odd one. Nothing I requested was played at all, so what's the point if they just play the same songs on a loop?

Idina Menzel is the Armin van Buuren mix - seems he wants his bit of fame from 2013 back.

Don't have any screenshots but MTV Classic are using the same 'interval music' as CS Dance had and Bauer use for their McFlurry sponsorship.

There's an advert for the MTV Music Awards which flashes up "Monday" and "8.25". I thought it meant the awards were on Monday at 8:25, but it actually means 25th August (25/8). They must be using the US advert without realising we don't use the American date format here.

Another clanger to add to the Gods of MTV its alright give it time they'll be rebranding all their DOGS to highlight it or it'll be plastered on right hand side and lets not forget it'll be heavily advertised on all their channels

Clubland just started E-Type from about 1/3 of the way through the song.

Great tune and they do that...

Plus they keep playing this Holly Hagan who I am now told is from Geordie Shore and her cover of Kelis' Milkshake.

Twice an hour on normal programming.

clubland music is officially over for me (don't have channel let alone albums but that is terrible!)

Are they paying MTV royalties for this publicity from Geordie Shore?


Terrible cover (but sure it'll be played on all radio stations/TV) she maybe linked to AATW I looked on youtube and video is there - I know sometimes doing covers of songs is OK but we are taking the p1ss now ... ruined milkshake for me!

It's awful, but I see it as proper Clubland cheese. Would rather they played crap like that than the EDM shite.

And Clubland is sinking even lower musically - thank god I don't go much clubbing these days - its music that makes you want to pay at the door to then turn and walk out again

Can we get back to normal broadcasting and cut this crap and get back in touch with real music please (not you lol)

I'll mention this song - Warren G - Whats Love got to do with it?, I always hear this song played on HeatRadio YET I have never seen the video ever been played! (I have seen a few times Regulate on KISS thats it)

I'm watching Clubland online and noticed they've brought back the old idents which were much better than the newer ones.

Kezo, we need a channel that plays unsigned and up & coming artists/bands. Not an indie/rock focused channel but a channel that focuses on all genres and doesn't play the usual suspects.

Yeah that was the whole point of MTV/The Box back in the day - but no one is going to do that unfortunately as everything is that mainstream its beyond recognition. Well if one channel out of their own sets done this we could see something different but I doubt we ever will - ie The Box (Bauer)

Some CMT shows such as Cops Reloaded and Redneck Island are shown on CBS Reality and the new Tru TV.

If you're looking for country music there's not a lot of it on CMT now!

I didn't realise that Fox shows appeared on CMT in US! (Cops: reloaded), Redneck Island seems to be somewhat ... interesting since the host is Steve Austin what does CMT stand for these days? Is it still the same?

I'm guessing it's just CMT by name only now just like MTV and Big Brother.

Caught a bit of Redneck Island before and it did look good. I'll watch it when I get the chance.

Caught it tonight - not too bad its like survivor (with rednecks) (can't remember the UK show) and irony of all it is made by the same people behind Total Wipeout/Big Brother

CMT - oh ok another channel thats followed the MTV route forget what we stood for and just be under name only nothing new there!

Too many channels have moved away from their names e.g.

Bliss: Where's the bliss?
Chart Show Dance: No dance here.
MTV Dance: ditto
MTV Rocks: Where's the rock?
Smash Hits: Where's the hits?
The Vault: Erm..not really going far enough in that vault are you Stefanie.
MTV Live: Not enough live material.
MTV Hits: Where's the hits?
VH1: same as MTV Hits.
MTV Classic: Where's the classics?

Thats true I'd say this though

MTV Dance - pop dance by day real dance (debatable) by night/weekends
MTV Rocks - bring back MTV2!!
Smash Hits - The Box 2
Heat - The Box 3
The Box - Smash Hits (no real difference)
4Music - The Box by day E4/CH4 by night
Kerrang - can't judge but agree its needs a revamp at least
MTV Live - MTV Hits 2 (agree not enough LIVE material - yet they can use their ARCHIVED material and UPSCALE it?)
MTV Hits - its like MTV Dance
VH1 - agree its like MTV Hits plus extra baggage carrying MTV promos (please DUMP)
MTV Music - its like MTV Live but without HD and again MTV Hits irony name is stupid MTV Music? switch it around its Music TV a la Music Television shortened but same crap!
MTV Classic - can't judge but from reading here - basically becoming MTV Hits if its heading towards hits within last few years - Classics is DEAD!
VIVA - its like MTV/Comedy Central but music is pushed to the back

So in short really these channels lack anything "old skool" be from 60's-90's, but from 80's-00's its the same tracks they play nothing out of the "obscure" they play but Vintage TV can do "obscure" so why can't this lot do it?? Royalties? Or just can't be assed with it but spend money on producing crap? Yet MTV is still carrying Teleshopping!

Because there is no more room for anymore further channels in the Entertainment section. reshuffle takes place in a few days so it'll move into the 200s.
