RESEARCH: MUSIC TV CHANNELS


Music television is a type of television programme which primarily focuses on playing music videos from bands or artists. Music Television programmes may also host their own charts. 


MTV- 

 MTV is a 24-hour general entertainment channel which is operated by Viacom International Media Network Europe.  MTV music videos  were guided by television personalities knows as 'video jockeys' or V J's. MTV focussed, originally, on targeting young adults and teenagers, however, in recent years, MTV's programming targets a range of audiences from adolescents to adults. It has spawned numerous sister channels in the US, with some of these going independent. 



MTV's ( Music Television) original purpose was to play music videos non stop, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, guided by 'video jockeys'. MTV's original tagline was 'you'll never look at music the same way again'. Although MTV, nowadays, doesn't play music 24/7, several of its spin-off channels do, including MTV Hits and Music Jams. Music Videos can now be played on demand for viewers at MTV.com, where it supports a wide selection of videos and international channels. 

since 1995-2000, MTV has played 36.5% fewer music videos on their channel. In 2008, it saw an average of just three hours of music videos per day. This decrease in could be due to the rise of the internet which is being used as a convenient outlet or promoting and viewing music videos.
