#92 Music Television... NOT!




MTV doesn't show music. If that's not one of the dumbest things I've ever heard, I don't know what is. A complete channel devoted to current and trending music doesn't have one show in the daylight hours that coincides with its namesake; Music Television.

The ending of TRL (Total Request Life) may have been the final straw in this stations inability to connect with its foundation. It can't be said that MTV doesn't play any music, it's just on at the crack of dawn when nobody is awake to view it.

When MTV first started in 1981 is was very influential in the music world. I know that it had a huge impact on my listening while growing up. Now, it's only known for shows like "The Real World," "Jersey Shore," and "Blind Date."

I don't care about the content of MTV I care about the name. Every time I hear it I feel like I'm being lied to. Its NOT Music Television... it's Reality Television. They should definitely change their name to RTV and kill the pretenses.
