It's not that they've ditched classic rock and britpop, but at certain times MTV Classic used to play it to the exclusion of other genres of music; especially during the "Kller Anthems" slot. Now there seems to be a better variety of tracks from all genres, which still includes some classic rock/britpop.
Maybe it's just me, but I've only noticed an increase in mainstream pop so far, I don't see that much variety, just fewer britpop videos in favor of the usual overrated/overplayed US pop hits from back in the day. And whenever they play something slightly more dance-oriented, that's usually Olive's "You're Not Alone" - not a day goes by without it being played a few times on Classic. Anyway, maybe I just picked the wrong times to watch the channel. Or I just don't have enough patience anymore! Quote:

Which independent music channel will MTV buy and ruin next? That vintage TV will be next on the buy list and the vault. Then you can tell when they do take over by the change of music to rubbish.

Is there a proper rock channel on Sky?

I think MTV Classic has possibly become even worse since the programmers swapped. As posted by Sylvester2007, it's quite shocking to see One Direction, Nicki Minaj and Thicke on a supposedly 'classic' channel. And I'm afraid those videos were scheduled intentionally.
Besides, I really don't see it as a good move to ditch classic britpop videos in favor of more Lionel Richie and other cheese, although this is obviously a matter of personal taste. Not to mention that seeing Mariah Carey videos approximately every 45 minutes is pure torture. ![]() Quote:

It was not the borrowed countdown from VH1 I wonder?? As during those "decades" they featured Olly Murs and Emeli Sande
![]() Warsaw Shore - coming soon to MTV UK (straight after the Geordies are finished )

I see no variety on their channels but if your older than 25+ your thrown to the side and all things are catered for the "young" generation ... yes I wonder how long it is lasting??

MTV Rocks, Scuzz and Kerrang are meant to be....
I've no doubt they were scheduled intentionally. It's just head shaking to see them on MTV Classic - even Vault show current/very recent 'tunes' these days. How about a bit of Mariah with Westlife? ![]() It could be, but your post made me think - if VH1 and MTV Classic have swapped programmers, then MTV Classic now have a programmer that doesn't know the difference between 00's and 10's and maybe now VH1 can make a comeback to the good old days..... ![]() |

I think if you look at the mainstream media outlets (beside Vintage TV and the rock channels and stations), we're seeing a VERY limited scope on music and even artists.
Some artists e.g Rihanna, Gaga, Beyonce, Katy Perry are automatically guaranteed hits and attention regardless. The styles of music are pretty much the same and very generic. Songs played are limited. Nothing new or adventorous, just VERY samey. What is so appealing about Ms Perry's new single? Heard it before and nothing new. Will be forgotten about 10 years from now. As mentioned there is a lot of songs from late last year/early this year being hammered to death even now. Are we in a new age of control? Only "ALLOWED" songs and artists can be played? |

Its weird in a sense you could possibly go into a shopping centre and they play a mix of songs be from today to the past (Ok it aint a music channel) but at least they seem to make more of an effort at times than stick to the same crap day in day out!

![]() .... that is the PROBLEM its like they have to stick to the same old songs played to death and can't venture into "unknowns" or be if that slag them off in having a crap song or it being classed as something like "worst song ever" ..... yeah right and back then YOU LOT played them .... basically the networks are being hypocrites!and as for Vintage TV could not agree more .... I tune into that more if I am watching a programme in between ads than the MTV/Bauer lot! |

Why doesn't VIVA just become an entertainment channel or better disband? Stupid. Glad I deleted the channels. Might ask if I can get Freesat installed when I get the tenancy renewed next month, am I missing much bar Vintage and Heart TV?
If your into you cheesy 90s and early 00s pop then The Vault can bring back a few songs you've not heard in years

"music will end an hour earlier" - what music is that top 40 or the same old countdowns? - this station plays music from 9am! so its now a 9am-3pm "music" station - may as well scrub the music and just put on "shows" This an MTV channel that has TELESHOPPING on supposedly from 3am-9am why not just run teleshopping til 3pm and then run "entertainment" such a shame

From next Sunday VH1 are broadcast the Official Chart Update each Sunday at 9pm. Perhaps the scheduler doesn't know that the new chart is revealed at 7pm on Sundays, meaning a repeat of the mid week chart 2 hours later is pointless. 9am might have been better..

Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars (2006) Beyonce - If I Were A Boy (2008) Natasha Bedingfield - These Words (2004) guess VH1 took the effort for "missing" songs and stuck in fillers of the 00's ..... who is MTV/VH1 employing here .... again no research has been done kinda reminds me of the 90's vs 00's and they ended up at one point having a song from Olly Murs (feat Flo-rida) playing .... maybe they should have played a Flo-rida song instead of Olly Murs don't you think? (not at you omnidirectional) |
