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

[El Poyo Loco]

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.

And basketball with the 25 point basket

My brother used to watch Rap City TV or something like that. Is that show still on?

The Learning Channel?

the station formerly known as CourtTV?

MTV?

(probably depends on how old you are though)

AMC went from showing old black and white movies to the walking dead, breaking bad, mad men, better call saul etc.....

 

[Tenchi Ryu]

As far as non trash TV today?

Not counting Sports which will never be trash, you basically want to stick with USA, AMC and premium channels.

History Channel

you mean history 2 AKA viceland now.

We know y'all used to have only 10 channels and tv shut off around 1:00am.

Watchu know about this here youngn'?

That's when television went off

after the movie poltergeist .. I made sure to NEVER be up and have the TV when the national anthem played

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

At least they show the episodes in order...

 

[Atsym Sknyfs]

while we at it .. I miss G4TV hell.. I miss TECHTV

I remember when VH1 didn't play any black music unless it was a HUGE crossover hit.

And if that crossover hit had a rap verse on it, they would cut it out. Extremely ironic to see the same station have a franchise called "Love and Hip Hop".

As far as the thread topic goes, both VH1 and it's mama, MTV, used to be all about music videos and they almost never show them now. I remember when people used to clown MTV in the 90s for not showing enough music but they were still showing way more than they do now. It's almost like they saw the rise of YouTube and Vevo coming. I foresee a similar change happening with ESPN where it's all about talk and pop culture and they have specific channels for live sports content since people don't need to tune in for scores or news anymore.

 

[CrimsonTider]

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.

You are talking about 2 different audiences

I have no idea what the Country music stations are doing btw

 

[Ghpstface]

you mean history 2 AKA viceland now.

Mannnnn vice was GOAT status before Viacom got ahold to em

this still happens on HBO occasionally. I'll fall asleep with the TV on and wake up seeing/hearing this.

 

[DaylitoJames]

Cartoon Network used to show the classic Hannah Barbara cartoons and anime classics with Toonami
Now they got nothing but weird shyt, I tried watching with my young nieces and I see stuff like this

What are they doing? And why all the cartoons only 15 minutes now?

They never showed my girl Left Eye any love when they played the "Waterfalls" video.
