Anything can be considered classic, although the channel should be older music, I feel.

It wasn't the Christmas video though ![]() Can't stand Pro Green ![]() Cool is everything we see in the charts - apparently ![]() Professor Green - same here mind Unknown posted up his new song and I posted up Prodigy - Breathe, another song its familar with is The Heavy - How You Like Me Now

Vintage sometimes has too broad a spectrum and tries to be everything, going back to 50's but they hide it away in the "Breakaway" "Magic Moments" you don't know when they are on they need all there shows to make you aware of what is on.
Vintage tonight states what it is showing 6.30 American Alternative Rock 7.30 Grunge 8.30 Nirvana 9.30 Lo-Fi, Edgy Alt 10.30 90s' Chill 11.30 1982 That's how all there shows should be presented if you into 50's 60's you know then those are not for you but they definietly offer variety the others do not go near. |

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.

East 17 - Stay Another Day - who played it - wasn't VH1 was it (if so again they stick to familar songs and hardly play their other songs such as House Of Love/Alright (seen this ONCE on Smash Hits never again seen them played) and again expect VH1

MTV Dance had programme sponsors a few years ago too. clubland was a sponsor of a show in the evenings (was it oblivion...?). nothing really new.

On MTV tonight, The UK Top 40 - last weeks, as the new one came out today. Could confuse a few. Never seen them do that before.

It was VH1
Greatest Hits played House of Love the other day plus another one that I forget the title of.Clubland currently playing - Charley says Meoooowww ![]() Vintage have started playing recent music too, which is disappointing. It's good that they do play a wide range though. Well, as my previous post suggested, other channels do have sponsors. Unfortunately Clubland etc seem to have gone down the cheap and nasty route. It's like a tacky 80's presentation, but I don't know the auction sites reputation. It's only a few seconds, so not an issue, I just thought it interesting and they appear to be trying to raise funds. It's only been a year or so since they turned to teleshopping and got rid of the premium service which was probably costing them to run. Charley Says - oh The Prodigy ![]() I like Vintage TV being honest but I just seem to tune in at the "correct" times as you do see a few gems that you would expect VH1 to play but as far as I see barely don't! I don't get why a "channel" or shows should be sponsored its bad enough you see it elsewhere, seems more like its the easy route nowadays to make money sadly (even include the shockingly Teleshopping). Sponsorships on some programming to me make the programme/channel actual cheap and I do think in a way damages the channel (they already run the ads for god sake!) (again this is my opinion and I know I might be wrong - but I vaguely remember in 90's "sponsorships" if there was it was far and in between) |

AAH so VH1 is actually going into archival stuff then? Everytime I tuned into VH1 it would be "stay another day" or the one with Gabrielle - surprised actually

MTV Dance has unusually high ratings in the latest BARB ratings, which make it the third most watched MTV music channel after Music and Hits. The top rated programme got 78,000 viewers which was higher than any other MTV music channel.

Chartshow are being quite clever placing their channels next to similar rivals, and also moving Scuzz next to Kerrang recently.

VH1 arhive? Not really
Every now and again the odd song.With Vintage you need to tune in at certain times. Can catch the odd gem. It's all about money - sponsorship is annoying but it's everywhere now. Just noticed some channel number changes for Sky Viewers. Buzmuzik now 372 - next to Starz Bliss now 376 - next to Greatest/Summer hits CS Dance now 382 - next to Clubland As for sponsorships I wonder how long they'll last and then it'll be back to the norm - surprised why the Government doesn't crack down on "sponsorships" if we are all in this together is it not about time these networks actually woke up to reality that we live in rather than constantly create a fantasy?? |

Yeah its a real shame the state of the channels - personally I expect VH1 to be home of the classics as well as updated music but sometimes VH1 comes more across as the same as MTV/BOX - same s..t everyday!

It won't be long until Cameron cracks down on what appears in music videos and what we are entitled to watch etc...Out of interest, it may only be my setup, but are Bauer channels worse audio quality than other channels for anyone? They always appear to be lower sound. |

Blimey thought The Box would never go widescreen. Does it still look like crap anyway?
Does anyone know if the bitrate of the music channels has decreased on Sky in the last 10-15 years? I remember The Box used to be clear as a bell when they first got rid of their old NTSC system. MTV too. Or perhaps it was just that it looked better on a CRT TV. |

All times are GMT. The time now is 17:12.







Greatest Hits played House of Love the other day plus another one that I forget the title of.
