Advantages: funny

Disadvantages: not enough music

MTV is a pay to view tv channel and has grown over the past 10 or so years and has changed its format somewhat. MTV used to be a music channel - lots of videos streamed one after the other with short commercial breaks. Occasionally there would be a music related programme on.

I think Bevis and Butthead was the starting point for MTV moving away from the music videos due to its success. Bevis and Butthead was bought by other channels across the world and I think this made them alot of money.

Over the past few years MTV has again sold programmes such as Jackass, Dirty Sanchez and The Osbournes. I think they have again made a lot of money this way and it is now often impossible to turn on MTV and see a music video. I think this is to its detriment and, especially over the past 2 years, has lost its identity a little.

MTV has great entertainment programmes and they are loosely linked to music but i'm not sure if Music Television should be about this. I would much prefer to see a greater mix of music and entertainment on MTV than just the entertainment programmes. I think this would widen its appeal and take it back to its roots.

Summary: good but not great
