It would give you more options. You'd get to see your Aqua on Vault
![]() Do you (or anyone) remember when they had MTV Flux - they tried making that interactive but gave up after a few months (well 17 months according to this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MTV_Flux ) Planet Pop just surprised me - they played The Cube Guys feat Luciana - an old song from a couple of years ago. It must be being re-released. MTV Flux - I remember it well did that later turn into VH2 and then well history?? ![]() The Cube Guys/Luciana? - I only remember the cover of the song by The Who featured on one of the CSI's! |

You guys were talking about MTV Classic, Well it looks rubbish with this line-up:
20:00: Party Like It's 2006 21:00: Party Like It's 2007 22:00: Summer Festival Anthems: Top 20

True!
MTV Flux - I remember it well did that later turn into VH2 and then well history?? ![]() The Cube Guys/Luciana? - I only remember the cover of the song by The Who featured on one of the CSI's! The Vault plays pop like Aqua, 5ive and Steps. Which isn't really to many people's tastes but it's a fun channel. Bliss is like Magic but with more variety including country music. Scuzz plays proper rock and metal including a lot of unknown or obscure artists. Unfortunately certain people don't like that for some reason ![]() Flava is a bit like Kiss but plays a few unknown artists. Same goes for Channel AKA. MTV Flux would work right now as Facebook and Twitter are more popular. There were a lot more interactive channels back in those days but they all seemed to fail. |

MTV Flux could replace the MTV Music channel as a interactive channel if they up to it or they could turn MTV Music into MTV Flux by putting requests and the like on that dire channel.

Although a few people on this forum have a grudge against CSC's music channels they do have a lot more choice.

Just the annoying American teenage shows music that seems to have taken over - Big Time Rush/Victoria Justice or whatever, is annoying. Quote:

It sounds like more to me CSC have got the idea of being "varied" with what the play - so if they are able to do this I see them as lead by example compared to the other networks
There are a few people on this forum who have a serious problem with CSC and slate them no matter what they do, practically an obsessive hatred (Not mentioning any usernames ). but I actually find that they are the best out of the channels. *ducks for coverI'm surprised that no music channel has a Smartphone App where you can request videos. Clubland is probably the most varied as they have a lot of videos but choose to play non-stop Tulisa, David Guetta, Scooter and Cascada (Not complaining about seeing Natalie Horler )

CSC's music channels are good but of course there is a lot of repetition and too much urban music. Chart Show Dance is just the same as Chart Show TV but with more Guetta, Rihanna & Pitbull so there's no proper dance for the dance fans but they obviously decided that it doesn't work for them. It's not my thing but there was a Country music hour on Bliss before.

I'll be happy (but I doubt it) and as mentioned and I would place my bet on it, all down to the labels!

(Not complaining about seeing Natalie Horler )I don't think UK Music channels are that technilogical. The closest to that is Clubland with Twitter requests. I should hope you are not complaining about Natalie - never too much Natalie ![]() ![]() Quote:
I admit I can't have an honest opinion on channels you mentioned (sadly) apart from Vintage lol .... but that is what we do need is variety and more of it and from what your saying sounds like these channels in a way lead by example, I'll agree there is way too much urban/dance music (even that IS my genre of music!), its tired and past its sell by date (more of having a go at artists that seem to follow a "trend" and just create utter trash for music) - but I find it more shocking that the channels seem to play more safe with music now, Example I'll use is VH1 - I took it as more of a channel that plays classic tracks to now, but looking at it - the playlists are just the same and ain't much different to say MTV Hits (classics are the same old - not much new or "adventurous" (Vintage is a +1 on that)) and I was surprised TODAY seeing Jay-Z and Kanye's new song
yet the only LL Cool J song they ever played was "all i have" with J-lo -- right then VH1 again playing "favourites" with certain artists!I'll add this point regarding VH1 - they barely played any "rap" til recently (from what I see) so if they can play Jay-Z/Kanye how about LL Cool J?

On this thread? Or forum overall? I find them one of the best in range of channels.

He's in a celebrity relationship that is in the pubic view alot these days. 2. Ask any underground Hip Hop artist and they'll tell you how mainstream and cheesy Jay-Z is these days. (ok, maybe not any, I don't know any of them, but down the years, what I have heard/seen on my TV etc) Maybe we could get you to do a rap and see if you can get it onto VH1? ![]() It's not entirely true anyway - they've had The Saturdays, Little Mix and the bloke from The Script trying to rap on VH1 ![]()

So in other words as Beyonce is that big now, they'll happily accept Jay-Z
![]() #2 - yes where did it all go wrong? as for getting me to "rap" who you kidding? - i'll ask professor green ![]() as for artists you mentioned - yeah "everyone" is now doing it (why??) - if you don't do or even know what "rap" is or what it is don't do it! He went mainstream, he has the fame etc but not the respect of the underground hip hop community. Money meant to much to him. Anyone but Pro Green.....please! I think people think it's cool. Although I don't like Ellie Goulding, she keeps trying to work with artists who are considered 'cool' every other song. It's all about being cool to young people. When you get to our age we kind of just cringe a little. |

It looks like being number one in the UK this week - it's been pushed very hard by the music channels - along with that awful Pink/Lilly Allen (out of retirement again) song. |

even the new Pet Shop Boys stuff is much better than that what the uk dance channels play. For dance music "dance culture" on the german IM1 is the better choice than MTV Dance, Clubland or CSDance.
Talking of Clubland, they, Summer Hits and Planet Pop now have a sponsor after a certain time in the evening (9pm?) - an online auction site - not the obvious one - I won't name it as I don't want to give it any advertising, but it appears they are now going down the road of other channels in being sponsored. |
