But in saying that this is what I have been saying all along the channels start losing for what they stood for and go off on one ... play and stick to music your meant to play if its hip hop and rnb its MTV Base if its house music trance its MTV Dance if its pop wih mix of music its MTV Hits and so on..”
MTV channels seem to be the worst for their identity if you know what I mean. This is how it should be:
MTV Music: Latest chart hits and new releases
MTV Base Urban music only. No Ed Sheeran or Jessie J types and less chart music and more classics.
MTV Rocks/New name Either be rock music only or change their name and focus on rock and indie.
MTV Dance New & classic dance, trance, deep house, drum & bass, dubstep etc. Cut down on chart music.
MTV Hits Only hits from the last 10 years. It's currently a copy of MTV Music.
MTV Classic Classics from 1960s to 10 years ago.
MTV Live New and classic gigs and festivals plus exclusive performances and live lounge (BBC Radio 1) type shows.
VH1 Classics and rarely played music from 1980 to now.
