The Future of MTV

In the near future one would think that the viewer ratings of MTV will remain the same as they keep airing these shows that literally have nothing to do with music. Yes they play some music early in the morning or very late at night. the music though is simply a filler until they can air their normal programming. As time goes on I would not be surprised if they stopped airing all the music award shows as well. Now for the actual shows that they air, oh boy it can only get worse from here. They will continue to show controversial shows that push the envelope. Eventually shows such as Skins will be aired on television because it will be seen as "appropriate" for the viewers that watch them. Unfortunately this does not say a whole lot about our American society today, but at this point there is not a whole lot that you or I individually can do to change our country's direction. It would take a company such as MTV that holds much of the market power and the viewers trust to make such a move. By the looks of it though, things will not be changing anytime soon

  1. Well, as I said, MTV appears to be bringing back Beavis and Butt-head, so that may be one good thing about whatever future MTV may have.

    P.S. I think this is the first comment on this blog, but I may be wrong.
