I like the way Bliss plays all the festive classics in run up to Christmas Day.

In other words really MTV/Viacom/Bauer are more than happy to alienate a generation out of these channels? (I get the point of times change blah blah) but come on - its like they are afraid to play certain songs too (which they use to play back in 90's) so what gives why play the "safe" card?

I don't know if she would be happy with that
What would the viewers at home think? Hey, what would DS'ers think? Actually I hadn't heard of him before I'm A Celebrity, but I don't pay a lot of attention to 'zelebs' anyway No we only have end of exams parties in the SU bar and as I'm not doing exams this year (doing a Masters and we have essays instead) I mightn't be attending. If we had a Christmas ball then maybe I would have put some mistletoe up, but I don't know if she would appreciate it If one of her colleagues found out she could be sacked and she's a labour law expert so she knows how to claim unfair dismissal and all that stuff ![]() ![]() No, I had to ask on here who he was a while back. Seems hungry for the fame and CSC are happy to give it to him. Nothing to worry about then. You could do it then and she'll be fine. Maybe she can redo the Right Said Fred video - I'm Too Sexy? Now, The Vault are a little annoying. Not only did they play a Girls Aloud song in the middle of a Britney programme earlier to pee off one of my rascals but they keep cutting songs short by about a second or two so the artists don't finish they vocals! |

They do have a big selection compared to some - Bauer and Heart for example.

I'm thinking they think it's pointless as most people who watch the channels are under 25, in their eyes.
small minded people this lot really are .... 4Music - "where are they now" can't stand that voiceover guy (comes across as patronising)played: David Snedden Blazin Squad - Crossroads Samantha Mumba Daphne and Celeste (well these were highlighted at start of programme) and possibly more, I changed channel as David Snedden started - programme was basically who they were and what they doing now ie David Snedden works with a company that writes songs for other artists ie Olly Murs as for alienating viewers - well aren't they really shooting themselves in the foot on that one? If your aiming ALL your channels to ONE demographic then your going to lose out are they not? Maybe this is where I see VIntage has an advantage its not afraid to play songs be known or obscure and attracts both young and old viewers but I presume Bauer/Viacom forget that of course |

Oh he sounds like one of those types I can't stand those kinda of zelebs! They come across as desperate to me. Well that was a bit mean! Why play a Girls Aloud song in the middle of a Britney programme? Were your kids fuming? I bet that lecturer of mine is a GA fan and she probably told them to play that song to annoy Britney fans. You never know I always thought music channels should play the full songs, not parts of them.

So there is investment for VH1 but just for christmas...
I see VH1 has a "christmas" look - the VH1 is in red with a misletoe and in the Christmas Quiz the song/titles were christmassy
So I take it they can only afford giving VH1 some investment is at Christmas Good grief seems more like they might as well make more of an effort in actually improving the channel other than once a year

I still can't get over how bad VH1's new look is!! Nice small DOG then oversized 'programme' / 'theme' graphics sitting there too. They do say you can't polish turd...
Not digging the oversized programme display either not there's any need for that to be there anyway because we have the EPG to tell us what the current show is. |

It's nice that they've made an effort with the DOG, but everything else is unchanged. In previous years they also had special Christmas idents and changed the default song titles.
This was a good Christmas ident: http://vimeo.com/10154081 I agree the DOG is fine but I will agree with people mentioning VH1's font style and programming style I don't like its programming title style - its like its competing against MTV on making things "big" (The DOG is small I'll agree on that) The main problem with VH1 is it seems like its more in control of the MTV muppets than it is of it being its own identity - everything MTV why no advertising for its own programming? They seem keen on getting Channel 5 more out there with MTV but VH1 does not get a look in - so what gives? VH1 looks more like an MTV Hits 2 but hardly surprising there |

The font they use on their song titles looks cheap , arial like , could they have not used Century Gothic instead , I remember The Hits 2006-2008 graphics used that font on theirs and it looked very nice.
Not digging the oversized programme display either not there's any need for that to be there anyway because we have the EPG to tell us what the current show is. I wonder what VH1 Classic would have looked like if it had not been rebranded an MTV channel? |

I will agree with you on the font they use - I don't like it that much, yet look at MTV titles/songs to me its too blocky (not sure of font), I am still not keen on the "roller" they use to bring up/fade in songs - it looks like its more spinning "off the wheel" than being on it

Yes, I think they aired it from about 2007-2010. I don't remember seeing it for the last few years.

Also, there are listings for VH1 for the first week of January on DigiGuide now.
It's exactly the same stuff they've been showing all this year. Sam Bailey's Power of Love, Top 50 Power Ballads, Pink, Adele, Beyonce, Mariah Carey charts... nothing new at all. Vh1 seems to be the channel for love, ballads and female singers now. |

Looks to me a closure for Planet Pop. NOW Music TV to move to 370 perhaps ?
Surprised the closures have not come from the larger networks as they replicate the same music more often. |

A top story on 4music - Cheryl unfollows Nadine on Twitter.
Erm.....how much are people being paid for this? There is war in Syria, Iraq and Ukraine, people starving in our own country yet two former girl group members have a row on Twitter is important? Wrong. |

Planet Pop reminds me of Bubble Hits. However Bubble Hits was quite catchy Planet Pop is not.

VH1 in 2015 - more of the same stuff as we played in 2014 (no real programming, however more bombardment of MTV/CH5 and also our "teleshopping" service which will appear on all channels after 2am!! Yes 2am!! - happy 2015!)

Yes, that is what I notice. They have a strong catalogue with a mix of the more obvious hits like Band Aid, The Pogues ft Kirsty McColl, Wham, Bing Crosby etc. But also the more obscure hits which is refreshing.
Not seen Christmas My Arse this year ![]() Quote:

Mistake in the Britney programme I suppose. They weren't impressed, but not the end of the world. Channels seem to cut starts and finishes off songs these days. Annoying. |

The app is terrible - 5 Seconds Of Summer, 1d, Ed Sheeran and Ariana Grande on repeat. Quote:

If one of her colleagues found out she could be sacked and she's a labour law expert so she knows how to claim unfair dismissal and all that stuff
