Music Channels

MTV REPEATEDLY

Advantages: Has some good shows+some good music
Disadvantages: TOO MANY REPEATS!!!!!!

...The music content of MTV is ok cause i prefer rap and hip hop which is on quite a bit, but the rock and pop and love song's really just take time and it seems like they are forever on. One really brilliant show is TRL it's full name being Total Requests Live is awsome it's a show where they interview all the stars and we get to find out a little more about them and when there new music is coming out which is cool, they use to have it in New York ...

Review of MTV

IT'S TOTALLY INTERACTIVE, HONEST

Advantages: Good allround music
Disadvantages: Definatly not what is advertised

The box is a one of many Music television channels on SKY Digital television, and you have to say it’s far from the best. I have had experience of ‘The Box’ TV channel since I had SKY 2 years ago; it was the music area of the channels that I first turned to. To tell you the truth the box was not the fist on my list, proving my point; it’s no the best available. MTV is the widely popular and almost fashionable alternative, ...
...MEAN BY IT’S INTERACTIVE? The Box advertises that it’s the interactive music channel (everyone thinks ‘wow’ ‘ I can listen any song I wish’). But this is far from the point. The Box is said to be interactive because they offer a ‘phone in’, ‘song selection service’. Every song that they can currently play is given a special code, displayed on the Box teletext service. You can then ring ...

Review of The Box

Music For The Masses!

Advantages: Free And Easy To Watch
Disadvantages: Repetitive, No Consistency Between Videos

The Hits is one of several TV Music Channels that is now available for us all to watch from the comfort of our living rooms. It is available on all Freeview, Virgin Media (formerly NTL) and SKY packages. It is a free to watch channel so it is available even if you do not subscribe to any of the packages from these providers at all. All you need to receive it is a digibox or other type of receiver and you can "enjoy" hour upon hour of endless music. ...
...2002 by the media giants EMAP who own (or part own) just about anything and everything that is musically-media orientated in the UK. EMAP were the people that brought us the Smash Hits Magazine, until its recent demise, amongst many other things. The format of The Hits is very simple. There are no presenters, and there are no live shows. Instead there are just back to back music Videos played 24 hours a day, interspersed by regular commercial breaks ...

Review of The Hits - TV Channel

A Pop-free zone. Yes...

Advantages: Not many adverts! A 99.9% reduction in crap music...
Disadvantages: None really.

...lover. But when reviewing the MTV2 network, you have to think slightly differently. With MTV, the basis is in pop. And pretty much only pop. But, if like me, you don't like pop, you could replace the word pop with crap. So much so, that I believe MTV stands for More Trashy Videos... But MTV2 is shocking because it is so good, but why the MTV name. MTV2 describes itself as 'alternative music television'. But seeing as 99% of people I talk to prefer ...
...what is amazing about the MTV2 channel is it's lack of adverts. With MTV, they have hundreds of annoying adverts, as well as even more annoying trailers for their websites, programmes, and just pointless blips of animation that just waste your time. MTV2 does have animated sequences, but most aren't actually annoying, but quite stunning Flash animations. And the fact that you get lots of good music around these adverts makes the MTV2 network seem ...
