I've never seen any proper Indie on there.

The Vault is good though as I like the cheesy music but they should focus on cheesy and forgotten pop from 1990 until Now.

I wouldn't go that far but it's definitely a good standard and refreshing to see given the other music channels have frozen in time. Chart Show has always been a solid channel but CSC's other offering leaves a lot to be desired for. Sometimes they have "great channels" and axe them. Axing NME bad move, buying Starz TV was a commercial move but a tacky channel. Then they create good forums for Scuzz which were busy and axe them too. Plus picture quality on there music channels drained after True Entertainment was squeezed onto there transponder.

Yes whilst they at it rid of that Jake Quickenden too !

SubTV Music ? I hope it has a varied selection of music would love a channel that plays a broader selection such as Alternative , Chill out and World/International Music.

They do play all the usual The Killers, Mumford and Sons and some newer bands. That said NME TV was a channel you could "tune in anytime" and get that sort of music. CSC doesn't offer that anymore. Scuzz is the only different offering they have now.

1: NME is a dying brand.
2: Starz has always been a popular channel so it's good that they're not changing it.
3: Scuzz forums were terrible and Facebook/Twitter is the way forward.

The Killers and Mumford & Sons are mainstream and are shown on pop channels all the time.

Scuzz shows a lot of proper rock and metal that you don't see on Kerrang which is just pop punk and mainstream pop rock like Paramore.

I wonder if they planning on putting the name of the program on the left of the VIVA logo instead of bottom or the other way around.

Starz was Fizz at one time too using the same graphics layout too !

I know, I like the fact that it hasn't changed much. Although it would be great if they changed the music e.g.

8am-10pm: Hits from the last 5 years
10pm-3am: Party Hits/Uncensored music videos
3am-8am: Unsigned (weekdays) Up Your Bass (Weekends)

Channel AKA had a Top 10 Channel U classics countdown the other day.

I believe they've just taken themselves off of Freesat but will continue on SKY/online at aatw.com




Clubland and then whatever has something on I like or potentially have something on.

Vault have gone downhill of late - same songs on repeat - Scherzinger - Wet, Kelly Rowland - Like this? Liberty X etc amongst others


Vault have got worse. Playlists vastly reduced, same programmes on daily and now Sabrina The Teenage Witch.

I hope so!

Tonight on Clubland from 7pm to 6am, various DJ's in the booth.

Great if you like that sort of thing, but watching a bunch of old DJ's on decks is kind of boring and they aren't that good.

Just 11 hours of it - looks like no Clubland for me tonight.

The DJ thing isn't really my thing but it's something different plus the music is the sort of thing you don't usually hear on music channels.

Yes, I agree.

Great for those who like it and great for Clubland doing something different - just not 11 hours non-stop

I prefer it when Clubland show classics. The weekend before last was Proper Clubland Classics and it felt like Clubland from around 5 years ago.

Yes, me too.

I hammered the hell out of Cascada, if you excuse the term and have done all week as they have 6 on the playlist at the moment at various times.

I wish they could mix it up, sometimes Classic, sometimes current - I emailed them, but they never reply.

VH1 is having a Latin themed week from 9th June, but don't expect salsa or samba music! There's just lots of Jennifer Lopez, Shakira and Pitbull. Themes and programmes include:

Top 50 Fierce Fiesta
Pitbull vs Latin All Stars
J Lo vs Latin All Stars
Enrique vs. Shakira
Behind The Music: Ricky Martin
Behind The Music: Pitbull

It's rare to see Behind The Music on VH1 UK now, even though it's a VH1 production. Most episodes are on Sky Arts instead.

Why since they are keeping altogether like "MTV" why not they just shove it up right next to the logo

ie

VIVA (Now) Scrubs (if you can imagine it and know where I am putting it), this may as well be applied to the dated VH1 too as they too have info at the bottom of its logo

Not much new there then in the VH1 department .... Ricky Martin really and the Behind The Music wow its a first its returned back on VH1 and as you said its on Sky Arts as well as other MTV stations use to be either MTV or MTV Live!

I wish they played more obscure tracks and artists from 70's-90's including the dance tracks, I just find it that music channels (call them what you like) but their playlists are that safe its sacred to touch songs that either never charted or artists they use to play but "slag" them off for the sake of it!

ie UK Hot40 - sorry can't play song "too old" for play on the likes of The Box - but yet you play the song happily on Heat/Magic (using Bauer as an example) - it really shows how out of touch most of these channels really are - they expect all viewers to like what they broadcast whilst alienating other viewers (nothing new there)

You said it!

Magic at it again!! "It Takes Two - 40 Fabulous Duets playing "Christina Aguilera, Pink, Lil Kim & Mya with Missy Elliott "Lady Marmalade"

If anyone has an abacus Magic's team could do with one.

thats not a duet - thats a quartette!

It's not the same channel it was when it was Video Vault, The Vault and with classic chart show and old 80's tunes and modern classics. It was very much a TMF of the day on Sky and catered for all.

Now it's caught onto the Big Reunion and hopes this cheesy pop will come back. Spice Girls and Girls Aloud have gone out of fashion now as have Five. They were all Z listers The Vault brought back.

There obsession with cheesy pop puzzles me. I've not seen much demand for it other than ITV2's reality show. Radio ect.. all play chart music.

I've said before that The Vault as a pop channel is great but I agree that it's too repetitive. This week I've seen 'Stuck' by Stacie Orrico at least 3 times per day. They need to delve deeper into the Vault and play some more pop videos from 1990+ that haven't been played for a while. Classic chart show repeats were terrible and 80s music is always on Vintage TV, Heart and sometimes Magic so we don't any more 80s music.

I think The Vault should become more interactive, cut down on the Big Reunion shows, let people make suggestions for videos and shuffle the playlists a bit so the same videos don't come on at the same time every day.

You could add another 2 channels oddly obsessed with "the big reunion" stuff - VH1/Heat - why?? I watched it once and it felt staged from the way I viewed but oh I forgot these channels "crave" it for some odd reason

I admit I liked Five back in the day but now it comes across as cringe TV - its like all these "acts" are now sucked into the whole persona of being "famous for 15 mins" all over again
