>millennials don't watch MTV
Most millennials actually do
>>60816919
Millinals watch youtube and the netflix, no one watches cable unless youre a poorfag
>>60816919
Millennial here, can confirm they don't. 18 and high school sr here. Kids barely even watch TV outside of maybe sports these days (including me). Netflix and youtube are the big things along with streaming for free online. Last time I remember anything from MTV being big with my age group was middle school girls watched Teen Mom and Jersey Shore but nothing since.
>>60816958
Cable is much more expensive than Netflix and hulu. Quit talking out your ass.
>>60817019
But thats exactly what i said you idiot.....
>>60816919
they really don't senpai
MTV is dying
cable is dying
I feel like MTV should at least try to do something Music related. I mean, yeah, I know that they make a lot of money off of their reality shows and...whatever else they're doing (last I heard, they tried and failed to make a U.S. version of The Inbetweeners).
I'm not saying they should stop. I'm just saying that every once in a while, they should try to give attention to some new/upcoming artists. Kind of like a TV version of KCRW or KEXP.
I'm aware that they'll end up featuring artists that pander to their target audience (whoever the hell that may be), but that's better than nothing.

idk do we really need a TV channel that will just play hotline bling, pharrel, and thugger all day on repeat? we already have fuse tv for that and they get horrible ratings
>>60817046
Not it isn't, read what you typed again
>>60817157
MTV is fucked, young people have moved onto the internet, people are cord cutting to save money and switching to internet streaming only.
Reality tv is dying, scripted tv is coming back, tv has to compete with netflix so they have to come up with quality shows instead of keeping up with sasquatch hunters.
Mtv is fucked hard.

>owned by major billion dollar Jew conglomerate known as Viacom
>ever fully dying
>>60817358
Nah man they own shit like Nick and Comedy Central and those channels are losing a shit ton of money and subscribers as well. Once South Park and Spongebob are off the air those channels will crumble since they lost the only other interesting things on there (Daily Show/Colbert).
>>60817358
The head of viacom is a senile old man right now, in ten years even more people will cut the cord and go full internet, cable providers and advertisers who count on mtvs youth audience will move elsewhere.
Mtv really fucked itself hard.
And i will enjoy its death

Now I'm not saying they should play it all day.
Nor am I saying that they should be playing Hotline Bling and Young Thug all day (although playing them every once in a while wouldn't hurt, if pop-station marketing strategies are anything to go by).
What I'm saying is that they do a...maybe weekly or monthly program that showcases upcoming artists that have been picking up traction. Maybe if they're desperate for ratings, they could have a popular artist play a show/drop a new single on the program (although the latter might be highly improbable. That, and bringing on one popular artist might lead to a slippery slope where they feature nothing but popular artists, a la Saturday Night Live).

>Not liking Nathan For You
baka desu kek senpai
That being said, what does CC have now other than South Park? @Midnite can be mildly funny depending on whatever comedians are on there. And the Daily Show is still a thing. Plus the occasional roast, although those are more obnoxious than anything, in my opinion
Excluding the Stand-up, the only other things CC has going for it are SNL reruns, Black Daily Show, Tosh.0 (which is probably cheap to make, so that's probably not going anywhere), and a bad ripoff of Archer called Moonbeam City.

Why would you want to watch scheduled music on television when you can watch any music video or listen to any song online?

>P1: Only poor people have cable
>P2: But cable is expensive as shit
>P1: That's what I said
>P2: No it isn't
>>60817891
They have Futurama and Always Sunny Reruns
Key and Peele is fucking huge, at least from their Youtube views alone. I am honestly surprised @Midnite is still going on; thought the show would last a season at most.
They have Drunk History and Review, but I haven't really watched either of those.

We all know they inevitably will play those artists on repeat though if they actually started airing music regularly. I used the Fuse network as an example. They started out 24 hour music once MTV started moving towards reality 10-15 years ago and played mostly punk/indie/alt stuff with indie showcase shows and the like, but their ratings were total shit and now they just play top 40 r&b/hip hop songs with movies and sitcoms mixed in.
The showcase show is a good idea, but I feel like they've already tried that (they had some show where they showed "indie" p4kcore acts a few years ago but it was at like 3 AM on saturdays). They also had TRL which is basically what you're describing with more popular artists and that only ended a few years ago.
>>60817957
key and peele already quit thier show.
The new nigger daily show is a flop
Stand up specials are actually having a really good time on netflix
>>60817940
Why do people still listen to radio stations like KCRW and KEXP if they could just listen to music on YouTube?
The idea is less "Hey, here's songs you already know about, but ON TV", and more "Hey, here's artists that you might not know about ". Hence why it should mainly feature up & coming artists, rather than ones that are already massively popular. The goal is more "music discovery" oriented, rather then "play whatever the fuck is popular right now".
>>60817992
Oh, I didn't know about Fuse. So I guess that kind of sets a precedent for why the idea wouldn't work.
Look, you now how mtv fixes itsletf?
Vice news meets p4k.
There thats, it.
You know what would be great instead of reality tv garbage?
How about they rip off 30 for 30 but make it about music instead of sports.
Bring back TRL as a morning show kids watch before they go to school, make sure to have lots of social media and musical guests.
Make a late night cartoon block similar to adult swim.
Make exploitive documentaries exploring different musician and current musical cultures like vice does with politics.
Have a late night talk show hosted by a hipster comedian that has indie rock music guests and meme rappers
Its not that fucking hard unless youre a retard jew who thinks airing jersey shore marathons is quality tv

I'm not familiar with these, but looking them up they seem to be radio stations. Radio is fundamentally different because it's something that you can listen to in your car for free while you're doing something else. With MTV you need to make the decision to pay extra on your TV plan to watch and you need to be sitting in your house.
>The idea is less "Hey, here's songs you already know about, but ON TV", and more "Hey, here's artists that you might not know about ".

How many people are realistically interested in upcoming artists though? If you play niche indie music then your drive people away who aren't interested in that style. This is a problem MTV had before when they would play a video, people wouldn't be interested in it, then they would change the channel and forget to turn back to MTV because there was something else that was more interesting on.
>>60818116
basically just turn MTV into what it was in the 90s?
i like it tho for real
>>60818116
>Rip off 30 for 30, but make it about music rather than sports
VH1's "Behind the Music"?
>>60818116
That's absolutely disgusting, but redditards would eat that shit up. Shrewd marketing mr merchant.
>>60818190
This.
