I want to know which "music video" channel do you like better? I put music video in quotes because neither of them actually play music videos anymore.

I watch VH1 occasionally for shows like Ill-ustrated and Best Week Ever, but the I love the 80's/70's and all the top 100 countdowns are a little much.

Mtv has some entertaining shows like Viva La Bam and Wildboys, but I really hate Punk'd.

I'd chose MTV because they have a long line of shows that I loved growing up. Remote Control all the way!!

TheClarkster

I suppose MTV for the purely mind-numbing shows when you just want to veg out because nothing else is on.
But that seldom happens when you have FUSE which constantly plays music.

I picked MTV because of the usual Video Wake-Up they have most every morning. I almost anti-voted it for VH1 though simply because of how spectacularly redundant TRL has become over the years.

I've always like VH1's programming better than MTV, especially the past few years, so I choose VH1.

I found out that I missed out on some good stuff back in the day on VH1's "I Love the 80s Series."

Nothing beats Pop up Video..Nothing....Not even T.R.L.

I've added Fuse. watching the other networks is like tuning in to the cartoon network and watching nothing but flashy over-produced specials about how fucking fly the people who make cartoons are.

Other: I watched the japanese/chinese/korean music video show on the International Channel.
I have nothing against MTV or VH1...'cept, all the things they played is just pure crap.
I only watch MTV for the movie award show and uh..maybe Punk'd, and used to watch it for Undress, but the idiots have to have to cancel it!! damn them...

I work for MTV Networks for the past 7 years. I know how it works, I know why it works the way that it does. I know the producers and the decision makers.

If any of you have questions, I'll be happy to answer them via PM.

I like VH1 Country VH1 Classic VH1 Mega Hits
Some times MTV2 and MTV Hits will have something good.

iamnormal

Look at the channels they run www.mtvn.com
cartoons are part of what they run.

Kadath

What is this "Fuse"? I have never heard of it. I just have MTV2, which is mostly videos, although I've caught them playing Beavis and Butthead from time to time.
Anyway, I chose VH1 because I Love The 80s and I Love The 80s Strikes Back are some of the funniest damn shows ever. Also, the 50 Most Awesomely Bad Songs Ever was pretty good, although to put Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start The Fire" on there was sacrilegious.

Fuse used to be called muchmusic, and it was canada's answer to MTV. like most things canadian when compared to american equals, it was less flashy but more sensible and more along the lines of what it was originally designed for. They play lots of music videos and a few shows, but it's so much better than MTV.

I'm split since I really enjoy many shows on MTV and VH1. Pop Up Video was the best, and Headbangers Ball was my fav.

CinnamonGirl

Pop-Up Video, Behind the Music, I love the 80s...all reasons why I like VH1 better. It also seems like they play more videos than MTV...but then, I haven't watched MTV in a while.

I liked Amp on MTV

Pop-Up Video is hard to beat, I gotta admit, but saying "Not even T.R.L." does no justice to its justified lack of credibility.

Fuse. More videos. Less crap.

Never heard of fuse. For a general programming standpoint, I like VH1, Mtv is too younger generation, it doesn't interest me.

Fuse was nice because they tended to leave out the majority of the pussy music thats out there today and played a lot of stuff that wasn't as mainstream as the rest at the time. Oh yea, and they actually played videos, unlike fucking MTV does today with all of their "Spring Break" bullshit specials.

Here at Ohio State, we do get MTV-U which is specific to college students. Its more comparable to the way MTV2 used to be, in that they have fewer shows and play more music. It's better than MTV and VH1, and probably comparable to Fuse.

heccubusiv

MTV would have got the voted because for a while after the superbowl they actually showed videos but due to them showing crappy shows again(or all of there shows in general) they lost my vote, my vote goes for the black and white all music stations int he 900 regions of digital cable

I would MAYBE like MTV if they played decent videos. But most of the videos they play suck, and can also be seen on ten other channels like BET. The shows they play when they aren't playing crappy videos suck too. I don't know how many different things can go on in the Real World that haven't already happened, and I might puke if I have to see Asston Kuntcher play another "punk" on someone.

Let me put this simple in my opinion.

MTV SUCKS

On that note, VH1 for the simply awesome shows for 80's and early 90's music.

We dont have this "Fuse" thing, and the only "Other" is CMT.. which.. well, just no.

I watch MTV more than VH1. But if I want to watch music videos I turn on VH1.

Stompy

IMO, VH1 is better.

I only watch MTV for Viva La Bam and Wildboyz.

I rarely watch VH1, but then again I don't watch alot of TV other than sports.

I've been a big fan of Wildboyz and Real World/Road Rules: The Inferno. Great shows.

Other. MUCH MUSIC. Alot of good videos. Different shows that highlight rap, randb, punk canadian indy etc etc. Pretty good Dj's, afew shows for entertainment, and the "good" mtv shows. We need to add much, and much more, for the canadian tfp'ers.

WarWagon

I believe that MM has now become Fuse TV.

In the states this might be true, but in Canada it is still Much music.

VH1, because I love 80's music/videos.

I like some of the shows on both, but when it comes to the music videos they play I prefer VH1 because MTV is mostly rap, hip hop, and punk. All three of which I hate.

jvwgtr

MTV blows, but I have to admit I still watch The Real World, even though it irritates me.
And Pimp My Ride is one of my favorite shows, for some reason.
I love it. There, I said it.

ibis

I voted for VH1 because I, like others, love pop up video.

If I have to hear Jessica Simpson try to say something profound one more time I'll slit my wrists. Who cares if she's hot if she can't say anything without sounding like a dumbass. um... sorry for the rant.

dy156

VH1 in the mornings is alot better than Good Morning America, and they actually play videos, but I miss the sarcastic ticker.

Esoteric

BET, don't have Fuse.
