Then again VH1 had a mix of music and shows .... no idea what the hell Newlyweds was doing on there! (MTV show), but then again using that show to highlight something else was this the start of the decline and the lead to what we mostly see advertised on VH1 is MTV shows (the odd Channel 5 Comedy Central, Nick ad inbetween)?



Stumbled on an old DS thread regarding VH1 .... dating back to 2003 .... we could say VH1 has sank even lower to what it was in 2003! http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showthread.php?t=78649

As regards VH1 -- VH1 use to have loads of variety on its channel, it covered 70s-00s music, it covered rock, pop, dance, motown etc these days its that limited its like watching MTV Hits for adults or immature idiots?

MTV Classic played it around 11am the other day - the channel that in Britney's countdown won't play it as it's too raunchy. I can only assume they make the programme and it's shown elsewhere on another channel.....maybe not even in the UK.


I've seen it on VH1 once. Only because she performed at the VMA's and MTV back anyone that does for a little while.

She was performing it on Jonathan Ross nearly two weeks ago - weeks after it was released. Typical Britney promotion - always ages after the event.

Chilled are doing a decent chart today - Disco Dancin - lots of old 70's, 80's classics such as Earth Wind & Fire, KC & sunshine Band etc but they ruined it by chucking in Justin Timberlake and 3 Bruno Mars songs!

YMCA was on and how comes that is never played on Boy Power charts - hang on, where are the Boy Power charts....oh wait, it's just that Girl Power is sexist nonsense.

My first viewing of a Christmas song on Music TV this year this morning.

Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas on Viva (some Diva's programme).

It was an animated video and the song wasn't the full blown original.

The Electric program on Vintage was very good last night, with Erasure's "ooh Sometimes" among others.

This playlist truly puts MTV Dance in UK to shame .... i'll point a few I like from this list (will highlight them), it amazes me that in this day and age MTV UK misses these songs out or barely play them (songs not highlighted never heard much but if you know dance in general I would say this above is what MTV Dance should be doing even if they put on more "old skool" but of course they can't be bothered!

It looks like The Vault have gone wall to wall programmes from 11am to 7pm.

Not sure if this is just for half term or permanent.

Clubland's 50 most selected ever chart just shows up how they played just what they wanted rather than listen to the requests, as a good amount of the songs have rarely been played compared to songs that didn't even reach this chart.

The top 3 in the Most Played Ever, didn't even get in the top 50 most requested either.

MTV Adria's ALTERNATIVE NATION, Thursday 27/10/2016

What I would do with VH1 is make more like the USA version with its own programmes, Then close another music video channel down for a HD simulcast of VH1.

There's also various programmes from C5 which would fit on VH1 UK, if they were to make it a celebrity/entertainment channel again, such as "Most Shocking Moments in Pop", "20 Moments That Rocked..." and "How The Other Half Live".

Spike UK has been successful blending C5 content with US imports, so a new VH1 could be too.

---

MTV Classic becomes MTV Xmas on Friday 11th November, and VH1 switches to Christmas music on Saturday 12th. The schedules look the same as last year.

VH1 - The only time of year it changes - rest of the year same tat different day!

Regarding VH1 with Channel 5 programming whilst I do partly agree with this idea but lets also remember the sole purpose is for people watching VH1 is to either hop off to MTV (land), Channel 5 or Spike (let alone there is NO VH1 ads on VH1 let alone on the sister channels a la ... MTV mostly followed by Channel 5...), If Viacom/MTV UK were really wanting to invest in VH1 we would have seen a big change since the revamp and since the revamp we could simply say the channel is pretty much doomed - VH1 has nothing going for it compared to its sister MTV comparing to what they looked like in 90s BOTH MTV/VH1 were invested in but these days its more Viacom has interest towards Channel 5/MTV/Spike mostly (even Comedy Central/Xtra is shite these days!)..only thing going for Comedy Central for me is Impractical Jokers/Bobs Burgers/South Park but again another set of sister stations that are shit too!

Less than two weeks away

Viva played two rarer songs last night on their Love Songs Sinday Guilty Treasures

Kylie - Flower and Celine Dion - Pour Que Tu M'aimes Encore.

Another one to add to Viva's unlikely plays - MC Hammer - Addams Groove.

Sure it may be Halloween, but I doubt other channels will play it (no matter how awful it is).

Good god ... I remember that song! .... now if VIVA can dig up "tetris" and "mario brothers" they are onto a winner .... but why all of sudden play that one? I get its Halloween but more to the point its different than "you can't touch this" on all the time!

Since VH1 is pointless can VIVA just be a channel for playing more of these locked up gems that MTV lets its other channels show - they may as well! Also is it not time this channel had a revamp too? The "widescreen" effect with its graphics does no good! I guess not in a way since VH1/VIVA are really forgotten MTV channels these days!

I want VIVA UK to have the same logo European VIVA's
http://www.vivatv.hu/

Viva occasionally prove they have many archive videos, so it's annoying they don't use the archive more.

Heart is now Heart Xmas!

Heart TV has become Heart Xmas today

It shouldn't be left to VIVA doing this on "occasions" .... they have VH1 and MTV Classic (I rather see a vast improvement to VH1's playlist with songs like that!)

So let us get this straight VIVA/MTV have an archive they have but they fail to use it properly (on their sister channels) but as if by magic VIVA is the channel that they are showing these videos on Thats it I officially wave the white flag on VH1 just get rid of it - make VIVA the new VH1 instead .....

I wonder why MTV UK is holding back on VIVA graphics? I'm not keen on the logo if I am honest but I am pretty sure it would look good on screen (but then again the European versions seem to give their other channels a bit of colour compared to MTV UK being dull with VH1 but MTV graphics get all the colour.....yeah we can see where their concerns lie!

Heart Xmas tv are show the best songs of Summer 2016 next Monday erm your doing a xmas themed channel ???? This what it says according to my sky epg.

I remember exercising in a leisure centre at a Butlin's resort, when a horrendously butchered rendition of "Ayo" by Chris Brown blared from the nearby television set. When I heard, "...All my SEHCTIB got real hair chilling... ....I'mma take her SSA down... I'm a boogie AGGIN SSA...", all I could do was blurt, "What on Earth??!?"

It was painful.

Fortunately, being the masochist that I am, somebody was kind enough to create an emulation of 4Music's ludicrous censorship impositions on YouTube - cleverly titling the channel "4Cisum". If you're not afraid of your sanity being compromised, here's a link:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KmQT9uPGj4

Accurate? I certainly think so.

I noticed today Box Plus are championing a song as their new video of the week or whatever guise they use it as - a song that has already been in the charts in the top 10 and in the charts for 10 weeks.

Keepin' it fresh as always.

Firstly that link is weird sounding secondly i'm not sure on your point (i've had a long slow day, forgive me )

Are you saying those lyrics shouldn't be censored or are you saying they didn't censor that but censor far less, or are you saying the censorship sounded like that in your link and it was terrible?

I think it's the latter but i'm so knackered i'm taking an early night cos I have work again tomorrow and right now I don't know the difference between right and wrong on anything

Thanks

Was mostly dodgying between Kiss/Magic tonight regarding kinda "old skool" or "90's" themed chart

Kiss has Get Down Old Skool Vibes - I was generally expecting a mix of both old skool dance and r&b - was mostly filled by r&b -- however 2 things that bugged me .... Beyonce - Crazy In Love they have now cut off the last 10 secs off video and 2) Eminem - Without Me - seems like near the end its carefully edited too - I remember how the video ran originally but tonight it just looked weird and quite possibly it has been edited

However winner for tonight for me anyway is Magic with Don't Stop The 90's Party - not bad songs Haddaway - What Is Love, Madonna Vogue, Backstreet Boys, Backstreets Back, Whigfield - Saturday Night, Corona - Rhythm of the Night etc


The MTV Channels inc VH1/VIVA was just poor was more modern hits as usual MTV Base to a degree was OK but again was similar to Kiss ie Dr Dre - Still D.R.E., Chris Brown - Run It (the only song I like from Chris and this was BEFORE the crap hit the fan with him )
