October 31, 200619 yr 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.
November 2, 200619 yr 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.

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.
