Clubland and Now just keep playing the same songs tonight. 3 or 4 songs on Clubland have been played 3 times each in 90 minutes - LMFAO, Guetta and Swedish House Mafia - they have a whole archive and they do this. Pointless.”

Some channels are switching off Extreme sport, casino channels, Motors tv. Music channels have little future.

They need a rethink 30 channels playing wall to wall chart stuff makes no sense. Kerrang will always have an audience as no other chart channels play rock.

Maybe that is what will happen next MTV Dance magically converts to MTV Pop (yeah ANOTHER hits channel)

Teleshopping I think to a degree does but for most of these commercial channels to do it in this "digital" age is a disgrace. As of speaking teleshopping only ONE Bauer channel has it - 4Music meanwhile ALL MTV/VH1/VIVA themed channels has teleshopping EXCLUDING MTV Live/HD. To give Bauer a bit of credit they seem at least willing to play music 24/7 on most of its channels meanwhile MTV has reality (on sister stations music) but its more like "21 hours" of music on MTV/VH1 but VIVA has "18 hours" (I believe VIVA has 6 hours of teleshopping from 3am to 9am - MTV/VH1 3am-6am) how is this justified? VIVA is FTA now as from reading on here but MTV etc are subscription surely Sky should be looking at these channels to either broadcast or go

Can't stand either of them tbh. Phil comes across as condescending and a bit of a ****.

I've recorded some of the "strictly" American Country shows and noticed a few mistakes - for example right song, right video, wrong artist. Tim McGraw being mistaken for Trace Adkins.

Plus I hope to God they've put the whole "look I've got a Shania Twain DVD - why don't we put a song from it on three times an hour" Saga.

They could, yes. Not sure Faleo is a fan though. Too much of a fan girl. CSC need a major revamp.

There will certainly be closures. Bauer have 3 channels very similar and every channel playing Beyonce on tap is kind of boring. I wouldn't be surprised if she turned up on Kerrang or Scuzz.

Dance of today is watered down wishy washy chart nonsense that all sounds the same. There can be good songs, but it's just.....wet. Bring back the big beats and bass.

MTV should no longer be premium channels although they do have better picture and sound quality. Sometimes if i've been on a non MTV channel and flick to an MTV one, I have to turn the volume down as it's too loud due to the difference.

Haha.

Phil does seem to think he knows everything. I think the viewers letters are funny. It goes back to Anne Robinson with Points Of View.

Doesn't surprise me they get things wrong. They often make mistakes when talking.

It's that time of year again - Mothers Day.

It's the day where all music channels decide to play hits for Mother. The problem is, they think every Mother is the same and like the same music.

They also think Ellie Goulding - Love Me Like You Do, is suitable for a Mother's Day tune. Can you imagine someones child dedicating that to 'Mummy'? Have they not heard some of the lyrics and realise it was from 50 Shades Of Grey?

These channels are so train wreck, I think it's why a lot of still tune in albeit at a much smaller amount than we used too.

Dance of today is appalling whilst I agree there is some good songs out there but most of the time its stuck in between the manufactured autotuned pap ie Bieber etc - bring back the real DANCE to these channels, why not be adventurous more often put on MORE Prodigy (not sticking to the same tracks obviously) but hell why not stick on some Betty Boo but of course they won't touch her with a barge pole (saying that last time she was on MTV Dance was with "push it" I rarely see that even on)

I still think if a channel is premium it should not be carrying things like Teleshopping, bad enough most of these other channels do it as well Syfy, H2 etc

I still think that the MTV channels need a shake up:

They should never play adverts, (they currently play alot more ads than buamer!, I've seen buamer during the day go hours without ads)
(There adverts are always the same few too, ovo energy, quickquid etc...)

They should be HD (all of them)

Sky could get alot more customers if it took its music channels seriously considering freeviews main 4music doesn't play music after 7pm most days.

At least 1 music channel without ads should exist by now, to give them a chance competing with YouTube/Spotify.

If there's enough people who want the changes I suggested, is there anything we could do to make sky take notice?
omnidirectional
08-03-2016
It's very unlikely. Sky would argue HD music videos are available online for free on YouTube so there's no value in ad-free HD music channels.

The 'European' (non-UK) versions of several channels including MTV Hits, Rocks, Dance, VH1 and VH1 Classic have no adverts, but that's simply because they cover so many countries.
georgecrossltd
08-03-2016
Well they should give us the European versions then.

Sky should match the quality of the free online streams, not charge a subscription for channels, when they have so much catching up to do.

You're probably right, aswel, which is very disappointing.

Clubland do have a Prodigy hour but it's usually on late at night.

Betty Boo? Not seen any Betty Boo for a while.

They should be better but we can't stop adverts. Only the BBC don't have adverts.

No channels should be premium either. I don't have Freeview - do they still only have 4Music?

Clubland play Prodigy late? Wow it shows you they know that sort of music but as usual, just like MTV stick that sort of stuff on late when nobody really watches! Proves the point really what music I grew up with is stuck til late meanwhile daytime output is pap! I would have said maybe VH1 should pick up some of the slack from the MTV sister stations but then again with what is promoted on VH1 these days I doubt they hardly care!

Yes Betty Boo! , MTV Dance use to play her on "I got mashed in..." (under the old MTV management), but I ain't seen her in ages on there either

It's only been recent. An hour long Prodigy progamme. IT'S AN OMEN....sorry, was getting carried away

You'd have thought they'd put the old stuff on earlier for us oldies as we may not be able to stay up too late

I Got Mashed IN......aaahh memories.

I had a brief look at an old DVD yesterday - I have hundreds of DVD's and VHS, probably a couple of thousand, of old music channel stuff. The DVD was March 2012 - things have changed considerably, for the poorer as well, since then,

Smash Hits played nineties and noughties music and it was Dance Nation not CS Dance. MTV Hits played older music too - mainly noughties but some from late 90's (Britney).

Shows the sad decline.

Let's go back even further, 2006! :

MTV - MTVs flagship channel once emailed in the top of the music section featuring Reality TV shows from 9am until 12am. Music was played from 1:00am onwards... Weekends had Party Hard , Chill Out. Considering it still featured Reality shows, music content was decent and variety for it really was there. MTV Hits, MTV Base, MTV Dance, MTV 2 - Used to be more varied and had a far less repetitive playlists. All used to have a Spankin' new Music strand to promote new songs tailored to each channels format.

VH1 - Became less focuses on programming and more towards plating music videos. It had more variety and themed countdowns not like the ones we have today which feature the same artists and predictable songs.

VH1 Classic - This channel was more 70s and 80s and played a lot of Classic rock, disco and power ballads and pop.

TMF - More reality focused and aired The Osbournes, Totally Scott Lee, Pimp my Ride, Jackass, Room Raiders, 16 & Pregnant. Music was only on from 1am until 6am, TMF had Nick Jr shows on the Noggin' strand in the mornings.

The Box, Kiss, Magic, Q, Kerrang and The Hits* still had video selections. No real change to The Box still focuses on new music as it always did. Kiss still urban. Smash hits much the same focusing on the latest popular pop songs. Magic alot more focused on 80s and more obscure songs from popular and one hit wonder 80s and early 90s artists. Kerrang much the same altho alot less countdowns. The hits was a mixture of the entire Emap channels at the time. Q was a hybrid channel at the same sharing with FHM Music TV from 4pm til 6am. Q was only on air from 6am til 4pm. Q was more Indie/Alternative and FHM Music TV on Dance and sexy Pop and R&B videos.

Chart show TV was more varied and aired Minx after 10pm which used to focus on Older pop videos from female pops stars from the 90s and 00s. The Vault was heavily obscure and more varied and played loads of 80s and 90s videos. B4 did as it said on the tin playing videos before anyone else and had great variety for fresh new music at the time, I remember they were the first channel to premiere 'Chicane and Tom Jones - Stoned in love' video about a week before it was showed anywhere else.

Channel U focused on obscure Urban music talent and made a few names into stars today. Fizz as the interactive channel which is pretty much still the same format and still uses the same layout what Fizz used apart from the name.

Classic FM TV was a classical music channel which is no longer on air.

The Amp was replaced with Bliss exactly 10 years ago this month. Bliss closed last year. Scuzz much the same channel it still is today. Flaunt was still in its pop format, that later turned into a channel focused towards the LGBT community in July 2006. Then ditched all that format and opted more towards into a Dance music oriented channel towards Christmas time when ex sky owned channels Bliss, Scuzz and Flaunt turned FTA in December 2006.

Bubble Hits was on air and played new music and popular hits at the time. Now no longer on air and closed down in 2009.

The Amp was great , Bliss lost its identity , the only time it was good was Blissmas and they closed the channel down half way into Blissmas last year , baffles me why they even changed to Blissmas only to closedown before Christmas ? Could have been an unplanned closure last minute.

Flaunt was a good channel pity they had to ruin it , was definitely the most european music channel we ever had here in the UK. No other channel was quite like it before they dumped it for Dance Nation TV which was horrendously awful as is Chart Show Dance. Lady Gaga Mixes , Beyonce Mixes , David Guetta , Avicii , Calvin Harris all on a constant loop every day throughout the year ? Give me a break this channel is anything but DANCE! , It's another generic pop channel all but the name. Wish they'd just quit trying to be something they'll never be. Chart Show Party would be a better name to best fit the channels content.

I admit the I Got Mashed In was also the time MTV Dance played songs from Girls Aloud to Eminem (but to give it a bit of credit at that time - you still knew it was at least playing dance music ie old skool with some pop in it - again no issue there), but to look at it now its totally gone off course - I just find the channel seems more scared to play old skool tracks or if they do its now the "modern" old skool tracks from 00's onwards (so anything before then what is that classed as?)

Heck remember Smash Hits became a "party" channel at the weekends? Played hits from 90's onwards ie Corona, Whigfield etc - again these days (similar to MTV channels) they'll play the usual songs on a weekend nothing more as weekday play is modern pap

Should have closed Flava instead but as a lot of CSC programming seems to be RnB these days, I can only assume the channels managers are RnB fans.

CS Dance is basically dancey pop and some remixes (Adele, Rihanna and 1D take the pi$$)

I used to love Smash Hits. Now, it's just a mix of The Box and Heat.

Heat keep playing the same sodding charts - Kings/Queens of Pop, Hall of Divas and Bad Boys & Girls Club - it's all the same artists!

Because now we have over 20 and some of them have been around for over 10 years.

Scuzz is a perfect name for a rock channel and I can't believe it's still around after 13 years even when people have been predicting it's closure every month.

First video to play on The Amp was Coldplay - Yellow and Flaunt with Dannii Minogue - I Begin to Wonder , no idea what was the first video for Scuzz though , had no interest to me , still doesn't now , although I do remember Scuzz being alot darker when it first started now it's a little more mainstream.

Smash Hits is basically what we already see on Box/Heat hardly difference there, Kiss to a degree at times I feel its edging the same way

Heat in general is well all about the magazine so I doubt the TV presentation will ever change as on the station it does play 80's-today's music but again even that is getting repetitive also

Heat in general is well all about the magazine so I doubt the TV presentation will ever change as on the station it does play 80's-today's music but again even that is getting repetitive also”

Kiss is naff as a music TV station.

I don't listen to radio but it doesn't surprise me that radio is different to TV.

Because now we have over 20 and some of them have been around for over 10 years.

Scuzz is a perfect name for a rock channel and I can't believe it's still around after 13 years even when people have been predicting it's closure every month.”

It's funny how the one station to close down was the one nobody thought would, in Bliss.

My word Clubland are having a bad time.

Same programmes with the same songs over and over for the past couple of days and it looks similar tomorrow.

VH1 have a nineties chart tonight that should possibly be on MTV Classic although it's a new chart for VH1. It'll be played over and over for months.
