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.”
I think that was the point of them (exactly the way you got them listed), I agree MTV Rocks name needs to go as far as I say MTV does not "Rocks" it sucks!
MTV Music/Hits - at times MTV Live is transforming into the those very channels

MTV Live - more ROCK output than the usual crap pop filling the channel day in day out (again not a ROCK fan but I can see they are on this channel wiping it off slowly)
VH1 - A channel I am more confused with these days its meant to be MORE VH1 yet I see less VH1 advertising and MORE MTV FFS

but I agree VH1 should be at least an 80's channel onwards if MTV Classic is covering 60-70's and onwards (can't view it sadly)
I seen the ad for MTV Summer - advertised as a NEW channel it'll run for a month I reckon then go back to original name Classic, I expect more modern "classics" will hit the channel (expect it to be an MTV Hits 3 channel)
