Guest Pearl69er Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 The following appears in THE NATION: _____ MTV to Stop Airing on UBC Tonight Surely no loss. I was living in NYC in the 70's when MTV first began an only had a small audience and it was considerd quite revolutionary for it's time but it really has become a very tired format. I'm not surprised viewers have dropped off. The Asian version is even worse than the US one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fedssocr Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Mtv debuted in the US in 1981. Yes it has become a tired format here. But the Asian version(s) actually do show some music videos. I read that a new small cable company has an exclusive contract with them and VH1 now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read that a new small cable company has an exclusive contract with them and VH1 now. ... the videos are great and there really shoudn't be a problem with any TV station starting it's own version as it must be one of the cheapest forms of entertainment for them to produce.There aren't too many areas in show business where someone else-the record company will spend a small fortune on a video and then supply it free for the publicity. I personally find the MTV presenters now peform to a set formula like the USA version which has really been left behind and become dated. Full marks to them though as in the beginning it was a revolutionarly format that began as just a local NY cable show that become world famous fairly quickly.
