MTV

MTV, music television? Not so much anymore. When MTV firsted started all they really showed were music related things, such as videos. Now a days, all MTV seems to show are reality shows such as The Real World, My Life as Liz, The Buried Life, Rob & Big, and many more. It ranges from True Life, which is showing the lives of people who do certain things, all the way to scripted dating shows such as, The X-Factor. Preferrably, I perfer watching reality shows over music videos and music videos can get old. MTV now had MTV2 which shows a variety of different things, MTV Jams which shows strictly music videos and concerts. I like that MTV has expanded into different channels and you can choose what you want to watch. If some people like music videos more than reality shows they can just watch MTV Jams. MTV has some of the highest ratings on national television and that's because now they provide variety. Though, when I was growing up, I would always look forward to watching TRL, Total Request Live, because they shows rankings of different music videos. They completely took that show off air, and now MTV rarely even plays music videos on the main station, unless it's at the end of shows. MTV is definitely not the same it use to be.
