mtv

I hate it when people complain about mtv not playing any music. although mtv doesnt play music videos, they do actually regularily show canadian indie bands (better than music videos in my opinion,) on mtv live. They promote the canadian music scene as well as talk about gobal issues in a humourous way on their show. they've also been known to show clips from the internet such as youtube clips on their show. the hosts are all very laid back, regular people, but they are also really quarky and fresh. Not only that they also have original programming such as The Hills, Laguna beach, Next, Made, MTV live, MTV live shuffle, engaged & underaged, room raiders, my super sweet sixteen, and so on. they also have original commercials that are artistic and innovative. In between shows, the hosts will actually just sit and discuss whats happening on the show, or really whatever they want to discuss. it sort of reminds me of tvo that way, the way the hosts are always there to engage you and make you think about whats happening on the show. similar to how between arthur Patty and Joe would discuss whats going on. maybe thats why I like it so much, its sort of like a tvo for teenagers. I honestly think that mtv captures this decade and teenage pop culture better than anything else in the media today, more people should watch mtv!
