Is there any station that's changed as much as VH1?

Why would they play music on TV?



The surreal life is what started the VH1 turn

why would they not? There's still a very large demographic of ADULTS who don't know anything about YouTube.

Hence why there's a VH1 Soul, and still CMT, GAC etc. It's partially why country music still sells well

Watchu know about this here youngn'?

That's when television went off

 

[BmoreGorilla]

When I was a kid Fox 5 in New York used to show WWF Superstars on Saturdays and WWF Challenge on Sundays.


Those were great times.

It was Fox 45 here that showed those. Watching Rugged Ronnie Garvin beat the hell outta the Brooklyn Brawler

Yep, Flav and Brigitte Nielsen were the break out stars.

You can say Real World/Road Rules changed the game, but it was really The Bachelor. Those elimination dating shows all follow the Bachelor's formula. I wonder who's idea it was to give Public Enemy's hype man his own show Vh1 was the shyt in the mid 2000's though. Their shows were just as good as MTV's during that era. My favorite show was The Fabulous Life Of...

I liked that show too. During Paris Hilton reign too.

that's not true.

I just gave you 2 prime examples of GAC and CMT.

Country music sells more consistently than any other genre at this point. Go into a doctors office or waiting room and it's likely to have CMT on all day.

Everybody is not on YouTube.

Viacom fukked everything up now all they do is repeat the same episodes of Martin, The Wayans Bros, My Wife and Kids all day

They recently changed it to BETsoul now. I know it's ok cry on my shoulder.

Viacom is the cause of all of this.

Even as a kid I was like "Why they got a trash bum alcoholic looking white dude repping Brooklyn?"

 

[Ol’Otis]

TV is fukked nothing but reality shows not even good reality shows


This is what happen when a bunch of old white men run the media

[two4two]

Discovery Channel and Animal Planet are pretty much reality TV with pets now

 

[El Poyo Loco]

History Channel

 

[Vice Queen]

VH1 Classic is now MTV Classic so if you want to watch old MTV shows and music videos, there you go.

I just miss Rock N Jock Baseball.
