pretty good, pretty spot on, but doesn't change the fact that MUSIC TELEVISION plays shitty reality tv shows that ( i have no fucking clue why people watch ) for some reason are still on the air. Back in the day i did my homework while listening to daft punks new track or nirvana.

No, they wouldnt have to play Justin Bieber or Carly Rae jepsen etc, i'm sure it would be way more successful if they actually played music. Like back in the day.

Do you think it would be a good idea if a network did recreate the old MTV. Playing music vidoes all day along with talk shows like TRL.

FUCK NO. All the music that they would play would be geared towards 15 year old girls. Pretty much how it is now.

dude....as is said in the vid, MTV is into it for make money. Their market is 14 to 30 women who dig drama. That is what sells brah, thus the reality TV shows.  Plus Nirvana, and Daft Punk were what the Bibs and Skrillex are today. Pop music. Just different eras had different versions of what their Pop music was, ours just happens to be terrible.

MTV U plays music and it's not the iTunes top 25 either. Not all hope is lost.

"Music Television" isn't even in their branding anymore, hasn't been for 2 years now.

M-T-V are just letters, not an acronym.
