MTV 2

Back in the day, MTV was all about music videos, but today it's more focused on reality TV. Whilst the majority of viewers warmed to this, there were still plenty of people who liked non-stop music vids, and that birthed MTV2. Funnily enough, this channel now features other programming too, but there is a higher percentage related to music videos than on MTV. I like music videos, but I can see how some people won't. To me, half the beauty of a song is the story it tells, and as the budgets for videos goes up and up, there's a sense of anticipation with each release. At times like this, I can't help but mourn Michael Jackson, whose music vids were ...  Read the complete review

Well for those of you who have never seen it, MTV2 is basically what MTV used to be. It plays non stop music 24 hours a day. Unlike actual MTV which does not really seem to play music anymore for some reason. So in recent years we have been given MTV base, MTV Hits, MTV Dance, MTV +1 and then of course MTV2. Out of all the MTV channels this one is by far my favorite. So MTV2 play mainly indie, rock type music. They play all the latest videos from the latest alternative bands. If your into your pop music, this isn't for you! So MTV2 plays bands such as Foo Fighters, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Oasis, Kings of Leon etc... All that kind of ...  Read the complete review

MTV2 is perfect for you if you love alternative and indie music, but if you dont fit into this genre, then im afraid this might not be for you. I myself, being a indie fan, absolutely love this channel and the music it plays.

They also have a myspace chart which is really good at showing you what the 'new' songs are of the week. This is different to other channels who tend to show the top 50 or even 100, where realistically, most people dont watch the entire ...  Read the complete review

Very Annoying - Advantages: user interaction - Disadvantages: ADVERTS GalorE!, To many poorly constructed events, little music actually shown

I'm a big fan of alternative music, not the screaming world of Kerrang (although I often appreciate that too) but a mixture of soft Coldplay and Feeder, some punk such as Something Corporate and Blink 182 and the heavier nu metal stuff such as Linkin Park and Limp Bizkit. So Naturally MTV2 appeals to me far more than the advert heavy Kerrang. The music MTV2 play normally cater to my taste, I often get a song I don't like but that is a natural problem with all the music channels, you won't like them all. The nice bar that appears in the corner is far more professional than the tapped on (occasionally) of P-Rock and even the now pink Kerrang ones. ...  Read the complete review
