Where is the Music???

MTV originally stood for Music Television Videos. However, I am not too sure how relevant the name is in today’s times, for there is hardly any music! And the credit goes to the numerous reality shows that are telecasted on the channel.

Splitsvilla, Splitsvilla re-runs, Teen Diva, Roadies, Roadies re-runs, the Fast and the Gorgeous, Stunt Mania and MTV Connected – all these shows have hijacked the channel. To be frank, I really loved a few of these shows. But that was because there was a novelty factor. All this was new once upon a time. Now, every channel has a reality show which is on similar lines more or less. So, even if I happen to miss any show, I don’t need to fret. I can catch a similar version with the same abuses and politics and tasks by just flipping the channel.

The point here is not the reality shows in general. It’s about MTV. I love MTV and Channel V for its music. Clearly, Channel V has no competition now.
