This Is Why MTV Doesn’t Show Music Videos Anymore
We can’t remember the last time that we flipped to MTV expecting to see a music video, but it’s safe to say that it was probably in the early ’90s. This hilarious video by Brian Firenzi and Maria Del Carmen of 5 Second Films, which we spotted on Uproxx, explains why the network abandoned its roots, and while it might be a comedy sketch, it is rather on point. We killed music videos with our Napsters and our LimeWires, and what’s more, we’re old now — MTV doesn’t really care if we don’t like Teen Mom 2. Also: there’s the Internet. Click through to check out the clever clip, but be warned: It kind of stings when Firenzi points out that the complaint that MTV doesn’t play music videos anymore is literally old enough to drive a car by now.

Basically everyone who showed up early to class
(re: four of us ) would just chill in the back room & watch VH1 quite literally until our teacher had to tell us to come sit with the rest of the class because it was time for class.
... I think the rest of the class might have hated us.
It sucks when a post you made gets rejected and then accepted by a different mod & user later.

But it happens, mods are human too.
esp with political posts. they'll allow politics on ontd but only for some random topics or if a mod is in the mood.

straight-up reality tv where they just follow people around with cameras is what i do not get
that is not entertainment- it's glorified gossip.
I guess I only like reality TV with some sort of thoughtful structure, like a talent-based one, or the sort that PBS used to air (surviving different periods in history--Frontier House remains KING OF MY HEART).
omfg this is hilarious. daaang. on POINT.
MTV has a channel called MTV HITS that plays only videos all day long though. You just need cable that goes up to the hella hundreds to see it. There's FUSE too.
MTV Hits - Pop music videos all day long
MTV Jams - Urban music videos all day long? I think
FUSE - Rock/Pop music videos and concert footage and some other odd shows
Country Music Channel - Country music videos all day long
Myx - Asian and American pop videos with some other Asian shows-If you're a KPOP fan then check this channel out for sure since they play KPOP all the time.
AND DON'T FORGET! There are also the Radio channels that don't play VIDEOs but play music all day long as well. These are the Music Choice channels. I love to listen to them when I'm cleaing the house and I'm too tired of my own pretentious music taste lol.
I have all of these channels with ahhh Comcast/Xfinity. I don't know if Dish users get them though. Ok have fun shaking your asses.

Some months ago, I watched Queen at Wembley for the first time on it. Unfortunately, it's one of those special channels, so I don't have it anymore.
I was so pissed when I turned it on and it had been replaced with jams.
Still bitter.
