MTV

MTV had a lot to do with music in a way. it was the first television show to actually show music videos. Before MTV, you could only hear music instead of actually seeing a video of a song. In the past years everyone could watch mtv and see a video that they were looking forward to seeing. Now days even mtv has changed. instead of showing a lot of videos, mtv moved towards showing a lot of reality shows. The reason of this being because many people now days love to watch reality shows. You cant really blame mtv for not showing as many videos as it use to because all its doing is trying to keep its ratings up and not lose any viewers. If mtv still showed the things that it showed when it at first appeared on tv, then it wouldn't have any viewers and possibly would be taken off of the air. Even though mtv shows tv shows i think they could play more videos like it use to. The reason of that being is because sometimes videos can make a person like the song more than he did when just listening to it. Some videos are very creative and very interesting and people do sit at home and watch videos when they are bored. Even though mtv has changed over the years, i really cant blame them because they are trying to do whats best for there ratings.

  1. MTV did have good reasons (financial ones) for changing their programming; their ratings went up for these reality shows. Most of the videos were relegated to MTV2.
