Mtv used to only have music videos.
Now mtv mostly only has tv shows which are mostly reality shows.
Did you enjoy the music videos more or the current style with shows.

I watched and enjoyed MTV a lot more when they actually showed music videos, they are "music television", or supposed to be.

Please share your opinion.

Do you like the current MTV with almost all television shows and reality shows?
Did you like MTV more when they showed music videos?
How do you feel about how MTV has drastically changed over the years?

I can remember late at night at my grandmothers house staying up watching music videos on mtv. Now if you want to see them you have to get up early to catch the video count down and that is all you see. I enjoy seeing the videos for songs that I like. I wish they would show them more. I do like a lot of the shows mtv has on too. I think they just need to get a better balance of the shows and the music.

Exactly. I also have a lot of good memories of watching videos on mtv when I was younger.
I think it's funny that mtv stands for "music television" but doesn't currently have much of any music at all these days.

I have MTV now showing only reality shows. Most of them are mostly alike. I enjoyed only the songs in MTV. Now I left watching this channel.


myLot reputation of 78/100. TheWebGuy (173)   ranked 1 out of 50 in mtv  2 years ago

I agree completely. I rarely even watch MTV anymore these days because of this reason. I feel most people agree as long as they aren't 12 years old and enjoying the shows on now. lol.

That is why I was curious and wanted to start this discussion.

Just they are making those peoples to be heros of the world and we are somewhat like insects watching them from down. Most programs are like that. May be due to seven years of his telecasting MTV are thinking what ever they show people would watch him without any cause.

I stopped watching that channel a long time ago. It seems they are gearing more toward the younger generation, and not so much with us older people that fell in love with it in the 80's. Same with VH1. They really need to change their format, so it is appealing to all audiences


myLot reputation of 78/100. TheWebGuy (173)   ranked 1 out of 50 in mtv  2 years ago

Yep. All you see are shows about some pregnant 15 year olds or rich teenagers followed around with a camera. Very boring and if anything, it is giving a terrible message to those younger.

MTV Asia was still playing music videos, they have those crappy reality shows too but not too much, What I hate about MTV Asia is the fact that they keep on showing the same freakin music videos over and over again. I think they were trying to manipulate the Asians on what music is cool by over playing them. I heard that American's source of music videos was VH1 but its starting to have shows too. They also created MTV2 so they can still have music videos but MTV 2 is starting to have the same faith with it's senior.

I like MTV now partly because I enjoy a little reality TV, but I do think that MTV should have more balance in there programing, meaning they should add more music videos to there line up so we can still enjoy both music and other entertainment.happy

There was a time that I glance at one mtv show and from then on, I decided in my heart not to be interested in it because I will not get anything good in it. That is my personal view about it and I respect those like you who wants to view those shows. I am not aware of those changes since I am not watching it. I only watch the news on cnn and in our local channels, and the sports games that I like to watch like basketball and others.

Hey webguy I haven't looked at your profile page so I don't know how old you are. I remember when MTV first hit the air waves with the original veejays back in the 80's and yes I loved Duran Duran. And I notice a lot of the music video channels are now mostly tv shows. I not only enjoy rock, and light music but also country and I am finding even on their country video channels there are more reality shows on there. I only like a couple shows on there but I would rather see music videos on all of the channels. Which is why they were there to begin with.

Not sure if you have the MTV 2 channel or VH1 classic but that is where you have to find all the videos now. Now to see videos I go to You Tube or that bands own website and you can see videos there. I do miss the days when you could sit there for a hour or a few and watch videos. Some new and some you hadn't seen in a while. The good old days.

Thanks for the best response. Is that my reward for being a original MTV viewer. LOL.
Very kind of you thanks again.

MTV is no longer showing here in my country. I used to watch it before but suddenly there are changes and after that I cant watch it anymore in the channel where it was showing everyday. I enjoyed watching it because of its videos, I dont know much about it now. I don't know where can i watch it again but you said that MTV is no longer showing a lot of music videos but only a show. Well if that is true I am not interested to watch it anymore.

MTV in my opinion is now unnecessary. With YouTube and the internet, people can watch whatever they want, including music videos, whenever they want. Even worse than that, MTV used to be fun, vibrant and informative. These days, the shows are mostly self indulgent and un-relatable to most people. I loved MTV back in the days when VJs were eloquent, witty and effortlessly cool. Now, not so much. Sadly, it looks like its days are numbered.

I think MTV does show a lot of TV shows as opposed to music videos but there is MTV Hits, MTV Base and MTV dance which do play more music videos.


myLot reputation of 97/100. vijiboopathy (6240)  2 years ago

But not as like before

Yep. Exactly.
