Materialboy215 Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 (edited) on TV/Streaming platforms ... Like we had in the 80s, 90s and 2000s, do U think that could help breathe some new much needed new life into the music industry? Imagine bringing the countdown shows back for each channel, Cribs, Fabulous life of (insert celebrity here), concert series, festivals, live podcasts etc. Its so much that could be done and I believe that its a market out there for it all! Just check out the meme below it used to be sooooo damn many channels out there for all genres of music now all MTV does is promote teen pregnancy 🤦🏽♂️ I wonder what made all these channels suddenly stopped promoting music and artists? Like its almost as if it happened overnight or something. Would U be here if MTV, VH1, BET started music programming again or would U like to see new channels/streaming platforms emerge to fill that void that those channels left?

JBJT2786 Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 There's barely an audience for TV anymore let alone cable unless it's a popular program. No one is gonna sit down on the TV to watch a MV they can't choose from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machete Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Not only does the internet exist, but music streaming does too. There is zero need for those type of shows. Let it rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also talked about streaming which a lot of people do and it's a lot of other things you can do besides showing just music videos. Look at Yung Miami show on Revolt? It does good numbers on Youtube and Revolt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree & sh!!t I cut my cable cord like 3 yrs ago now and I don't regret it one bit lol. However I think a all music centered app or streaming platform can work that shows concerts/festivals, interviews, celebrity cribs & they're lifestyles, live podcasts etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Award shows suck cause nobody can really perform or sing live only a small select few can lol and everyone knows that these award shows are bias asf among other things and rarely does the artist that deserves it gets the win. Frfr awards shows are nothing more than a d!ck measuring contest between the labels lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnikaSlays Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 (edited) If there was a show that had emphasis on news, along with interviewing and giving performing slots to artists the GP is actually listening to, I don’t see why it couldn’t work. There’s podcasts like No Jumper, Joe Budden podcast, etc. where all they do is sit and talk about music and get hundreds of thousands of views every week. Find some interesting and likable personalities to host, and it could be a hit. Edited January 10, 2023 by OnikaSlays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samsclubPRESENTSavam Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 they do bring it back every couple years and the channels flop and have to be repurposed because no one is watching. also the blocks they do have are just awful. who wants to watch 2-3 grab bag variety videos & then go to a very long commercial break? and good luck getting people to pay for cable or a streaming service. however, if you're just feeling nostalgic there are lots of old MTV blocks online. I had club MTV on constantly over the summer and it was really comforting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They damn sure don't 😭 like ZONE they be so boring I don't even bother watching 😂 I think the last award show I really watched was the 2016 VMAs when Britney, Beyonce and Rihanna all performed lol. I think part of the problem is that labels don't do artist development anymore which of course U know prepares them for things like that ... now soon as they sign these labels are literally pushing these kids out there smh.

I definitely think it should be updated to fit into todays times and thats going to be streaming and apps of some sorts imo. MTV commercials used to be like damn near 10m long 😭 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virgos Groove Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 It wouldn't work. MTV is kinda like Top of the Pops: you can argue the plug was pulled a bit too soon, but now that's it's done, it can't be undone. People have moved on to streaming and they're never coming back. Plus, pop stars don't need MTV like in the 90s/00s. They just use social media to promote their music and establish their brand. MTV and other music channels have nothing to offer.

Damien M Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 It's too late. No one watches live TV anymore except select event programming (Superbowl, World Cup, NFL). MTV is dead. Maybe if they had a Tik Tok/Instagram/YT channel with performances and behind the scenes clips. Maaaaaaaybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andresg770 Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 This is honestly what they should've done with the MTV side of Paramount+, but instead it's been a whole lot of NOTHING -- except for The Challenge All Stars and the Real World Homecoming reunion seasons. I get that this kind of music-oriented programming is far more niche than back in the day. But it's SO frustrating that MTV has one of the most amazing content vaults, and all they do is sit on it If they made more programming like what's typically on AXS TV (concert films, music docs, artist spotlights/interviews, cute little top 10s with celebrity commentators a la 2000s VH1), but with extra rare archival footage from the MTV vaults, I'd stream that! It'd be something fun to watch real quick while having dinner. And then they could also upload some old VMAs, plus episodes of Ultrasound, Unplugged, Week in Rock, etc. If WWE can get people to pay for Peacock just so they can watch some random wrestling event from December 1989, MTV can too!

Alldeezy Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 I'd be here for it. Channel (v) and Max still have it going over here I just don't bother paying for the channels because we got YouTube But I remember watching all those plus mtv and vh1 all through 2005 - 2008 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
So.. what now Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Only a little bit would’ve changed because the masses have moved on from present-day music, the difference between the ’80s, ’90s, and the early half of 00’s to the present day is night and day, see back in the day you can see the demand and their willingness to pay the single in form of a cd with much more expensive price than the actual album itself is one of the examples.
