what waste of money.

I miss that mid 90’s to early 2000’s run of mtv

I guess the network I pretty much done. Kinda symbolic of everything going on

 

[MoshpitMazi]

MTV might be finished soon

 

[Selena]

It's about time. Way overdue.

21,000 per episode as an exec producer. 61,000 per episode as the host = 82k per episode (bonuses not included)

336 episodes per year = 27,552,000 a year. Base.

Syndication revenue too.

 

[dj-method-x]

Just stick a fork in it.

 

[steadyrighteous]

Syndication revenue too.

Of course. There’s a small chance that he took the good up front and per episode fee in exchange for less percentage on backend/syndication, but from what I see people say he’s a hustler, so yeah he’s probably gonna be eating off syndication too like crazy.

I don't understand why MTV didn't make it's own programming etc. I know they got a budget and whatnot but wouldln't variety in content help to keep people tuning in?

They tried many times before and it failed.

Internet/YouTube was the final nail in MTV's coffin. But don't get it fukked up. Every cable channel is dying except the ones that show sports.

 

[ReturnOfJudah]

He couldn't blackmail the check writer anymore lol. Bruh had to have some kind of dirt on somebody

 

[SpottieOttieD]

I ain't have cable since '14

Is that a real MTV lineup these days?

 

[BluntTrauma]

Do re runs of cribs and all the classic shows

 

[Piff Perkins]

Breh what type of show is this. I would see it on the tv guide late at night and try to peep but it was always on commercial. So I got impatient and went back to watching whatever I was watching. I did that for a decade and never actually saw the show.

 

[2 Up 2 Down]

Biggest waste of money. They could've saved money by just showing re-runs from the 80s 90s and early 2000s

 

[The G.O.D II]

32 million? I don’t know a single person who watches that show. It’s the equivalent of CNN playing at airports. You could get a random dude off the street to do that for 150k and a scat pack
