I really dislike MTV, not only because of the music but especially for taking over our national musicchannel, TMF.
TMF was very popular. And ofcourse, most of the music was that pop-crap but they had sometimes really nice live-concerts in the evening and on monday they an evening with an alternative program, a rock program and a metal/hardmusic program.
True, you can discuss about the contents of the last one because they had music from all bands that might play on Dynamo open air (also nu-metal, Hardcore, that kind of stuff) But it was something.
But TMF was too popular and the Dutch version of MTV couldn't compete with them. So they took over the whole shit. They used the popular programs for MTV and dumped the rest. And TMF is now a so called interactive music channel (no programs anymore, only music 24 hours a day. Only popular ofcourse and very irritating useless polls where you can sms your opinion about something (costs like €0,70 a message) can't believe people are stupid enough to do that)
Anyway, the little quality there was on national television is killed by MTV. OK, they have jackass. But I've seen them all by now and watching the replays again and again don't excite me anymore.
so this were my frustrations about MTV, and it's absolutely offtopic
You're welcome!
