The British government is as corrupt as anything. I would say we are becoming on par with Azerbaijan, Belarus and Russia with the amount of coruption going on.
The music channels are mere puppets to the labels. The record labels use their dirty money to pay the channels to promote their acts. I agree. You need a big name punished to shake up the system. That is odd. Unless it was Union Js XFactor performances? Saying that I did flick through and see two songs...one was Illuminati anthem "Scream and Shout" which Will.I.Am recorded on the loo and some other crap. It said it was compiled by the band and fans, but I dont believe that. Interesting on 4music at 01.25-02.15 Video Junkie which is under the radar videos. If this is newbies why shove this on at silly o'clock? We dont want the same acts forced down our throats. Music TV is basically a form of advertising. Oh how I miss the old days. I didn't watch the program, but I don't think they'd be allowed to show the performances? Sounds weird from what you saw. The Box sometimes play unknowns at silly hour. Why not play them in the day? |

Well with all this spying going on and William Hague over defending, it sounds like they are more corrupt than ever.

Gone are the days where the public had a say ![]() I didnt see it but thats what I am guessing. Why include them in a versus when they have had ONE single to the others? Simon Cowell is another threat to the industry. My guess is people will LIKE the unknowns over the same old acts and that is not allowed. Someone, somewhere needs a chance. There is one: best and worst video. I saw One Direction with Kiss You on there....erm....you.praised them for the video a few months ago..so why slag them? |

MTV's UK website still has no schedules or info for MTV Live, but oddly they've started listing BET: http://www.mtv.co.uk/tv-guide#bet
BETs schedule looks different from 1st July and MTV shows start appearing. Gigs from MTV Live including Rita Ora, Dizeee Rascal, Emeli Sande and other urban artists are listed, along with Behind The Music, Storytellers etc. It looks like they're trying to make it more mainstream, the weekend 'Gospel' stuff is all being removed too (that's a good thing though!). Maybe they're launching a UK version, as they did with MTV Live last year, instead of giving us the worldwide version with UK ads. |

I was hoping to see loads more music videos on it. Since is is programmed from New York I was looking forward to seeing loads of videos that you wouldn't see on MTV Base. Didn't work out like that and I don't watch the channel. |

(luckily I don't have BET yet but the state of MTV sister stations we all know this will turn into another MTV disaster in the making! ... Expect Geordie Shore to appear next )

With MTV UK taking over BET, is the channel leaving Freesat and becoming paywall on Sky?

That will make BET a clone of the others? When I had Freesat at least BET had an identity. The channel even showed Whitney Houstons funeral live and some rare videos of her obscure singles (You Give Good Love, My Name is Not Susan and Whatulookingat). You would NEVER see MTV or even Bauer do that.
Bad move this is going to be. |

BET has awful ratings, and is one of the lowest channels rated by BARB. Infact I think only "My Channnel" gets fewer viewers so I can see why they need to make changes. 106 & Park is still listed, plus reality shows like "Keyshia & Daniel" (whoever they are) and Real Hollywood Husbands. That seems to be the sort of thing they'll be focusing on from July, and some live performances/music documentaries from MTV.

From a quick look at the figures I would say AKA is the lowest rated, since it was moved to the end of the music EPG. Chart Show Dance isn't much better.

Thank you.
Not surprised the top two are the two Freeview ones. I give credit to Vintage, Starz and a lesser point AKA...at least they have all stayed true to what they stood for. They are 100% music. Thanks to Starz and AKA I have discovered a few lesser known singers and a couple that have made the big time. |

I think in my opinion with Vintage TV is they'll play some "familiar" tracks but some I would think "unknown" tracks/artists (guess you could say artists/songs VH1 should be playing in a rota but must be that scared of touching |

80's and 90's music is quite under catered for these days.
![]() MTV/Bauer have a back catalogue library that they can use or is this the sort of "shamed of these decades" that they rather wipe history of? I'll give Vintage at least credit in what they do and personally I was not expecting the channel to be like the old style VH1 but at least it is doing something

Ideally something with a larger archive and maybe even HD something more than Vintage TV. Sky would do a great job of music tv had they still been in the music market. Look at Sky Arts it's decent. |

I guess 80's music is a bit like 70's music getting ignored in the last decade. Time moves on and they don't like old music.

I wouldn't mind a channel that covered even if it was say music of 60's onwards or 60's-90's ie all genres, you just got to go through the MTV lot or Bauer lot its the same old same old!

They have gigs from Blur and Oasis on quite often which is my sort of thing since Q tv went off air.

MTV Dance - official dance anthems.
Now, Cascada sold 450k of Evacuate....and it's not in there when smaller sales are. Now, either Cascada are not classed as dance by MTV or the 'Official' needs to be taken away as if they are choosing what a dance anthem is, it cannot be official as it is an opinion. Heat are having a Pop Flashback week - it's not all flashback, it's just amongst all the usual programs and it's re-hashed charts that they and Bauer channels show all the time anyway. Money for old rope anyone? |

I think its a case of pretend it never happened by MTV/Bauer.
I noticed when they have From Day 1 with their pets e.g Rihanna they miss a lot of the discography out. The songs may or may not be good or did poor but its still part of their discography. You cant pretend it never happened ffs. Cascada are dance and if they want to wet themselves over one note pony Guetta then they are stupid. |
