I also seen on VH1 today - 90's Nostalgia Hour - Billie Myers / Richard Marx - Hazard ... Have not seen Billie Myers in ages so this is a first for me to see that video on .... I think I am another now giving up on Box Hits/Upfront - Brit Party Bangers - Rita Ora (it was one of her familar songs) - I wonder if this was the same song that was on last week as a "party banger" - if they are doing party banger charts can we please stretch it a bit further than par 90s-now? |

Weied that .... 2002 and its 2016 .... more likely the ads will be updated in some way ie price adjustments ... say a product back then you would have got for say £100 these days its probably more (just a theory)
and yes im sure its just a theory.

I wonder if this is the start (again) of MTV Base having programming, as previously they repeated Runs House, Pimp My Ride and Cribs

Is this new or old? I'm guessing from what appears to be recent posts (although it gives no year) that this is now, although it may be America?Tell them not to do it! |

Yes I've noticed they started to repeat those programmes above looks like it's a start then.
, I am not for reality trash hitting VH1 but put on something .... they have an archive of "classic" VH1 they can use but choose to keep away

Yes it's the American version of VH1 Classic that is becoming MTV Classic.
Reading from some comments it seems the American viewers are not keen on this change but are happy with some of the programming ie Daria but the viewers are telling them to not air reality trash on it (I wonder if the US version will listen or ignore ..... as it seems MTV here ignores complaints and goes ahead) |

Oh dear. If it goes the way of UK 'Classic' then it's goodbye all the music that I see on that feed and hello endless Beyonce v Timberlake and Rihanna's greatest hits every day for three weeks.
They've every right to be concerned. Look at what they did here! Like I say I wouldn't mind if VH1 aired old shows from MTV or VH1 (or even both) than the endless drivel we have! However looking at MTV UK anyway - its main focus is mostly MTV, rarely you get different ads but thats for MTV Stars etc As for VH1 Classic changing in the US, I will assume that VH1 Classic Europe will be next in the firing line to go and be rebranded MTV? It seems as if they want rid of the VH1 brand altogether and be it MTV (whatever next)! |

If they want to get rid of the VH1 brand they've chosen a strange time to launch VH1 Italia.
The reason I suggested if they were wanting rid of "VH1" branded channels is well there is next to no advertising for itself especially in the UK... Again VH1 advertises mostly MTV and well MTV advertises mostly itself (in between Comedy Central/Nick/Ch 5 trailers). VH1 as a standalone channel these days has turned into one of the worst channels to even put on let alone the slogan "More VH1" is a joke in itself there is nothing "more" to VH1 its the same crap day in/day out, bring back VH1 of yesteryear with some MTV programming of yesteryear too! (if that can improve it) |

Exactly - I don't have it but I wonder though if they will goo MTV Classic and then odd months ie MTV 90's recently here in UK?

I note from the facebook page posted the other night that they played classic artists on VH1 Classic USA - it will soon change. What the hell are these people thinking? In America their is a wider range of recognised popular music which includes older music, they are going to destroy it all just so they can play Derulo and Bieber non stop? Clubland just played Kelly Clarkson - Stronger. I'm waiting for the next gem. |

Also, Base used to show hip hop documentaries, for years they did that. It's only fairly recently it's been non stop music. There's nothing wrong with them showing shows and documentaries, as long as they're music related. Sets the channels apart from YouTube and even The Box channels that can't get hold of that stuff. |

In the US they have a hip hop music channel called MTV Jams, but it doesn't have the reach or profile that MTV Base has over here (being on nearly every pay platform). Makes total sense to put it on Base here.

I'm sure it's managed by different people over there but may run on the same premise.

I think this poses a problem and I don't think the US viewers will take this down likely - I think if the channel changes from VH1 to MTV Classic, hell will break loose and I could see viewers complain more, I do agree with some that said if they are showing classic MTV shows as Daria then by all means I would too but don't blow it with more of the modern pap music - but thats what I laugh at though - people seem to like VH1 and the brand itself (ok VH1 Classic) but to go for the reband MTV Classic it seems people over there have already seen the channels future (probably some have asked friends relatives in UK), hence why they are commenting in disgust - its as I mentioned before it seems more as if MTV wants to eventually scrap the VH1 brand since VH1 had 2 channels but is now only on, but yet the VH1 in UK is ok music themed but there is no VH1 US related shows appearing its all shipped onto the MTV channels, back in 90's VH1 Europe/UK had VH1 US shows on and MTV UK was like MTV US (to a degree) but these days anything VH1/MTV related is basically thrown on.....MTV
, you even see it with the barrage of ads on all the MTV UK networks - all for MTV (other viacom channels inbetween) but VH1 hardly gets a look in!VH1 making an effort this evening - 50 Breathtaking Hits of the Ninties (yes, the EPG and on screen graphics say 'Ninties') First 11 songs and we've already had Michael Bolton, Baz Luhrmann. Jeff Buckley, Emilia, Heart and Del Amitri. |
