QuoteThe M in MTV is coming back. Launched as Music Television, the Viacom cable network phased out its core business with the demise of the music videos. Now it?s bringing it back with a major push for live music and music-inspired programming, which MTV is announcing at its upfront today.
:gorlonfire: :gorlonfire: :gorlonfire: :gorlonfire:
There are 14 new shows in the works but the ones that stand TF OUT
QuoteThat includes Wonderland, the network?s first weekly live music performance series in nearly 20 years debuting this fall; a a music competition series from top reality producer Mark Burnett; and a newly reimagined version of MTV Unplugged. Additionally, MTV is developing music-themed series Studio 24 with record executive Scooter Braun and music documentary series Year One.
We've been missing this kinda mess and it NEEDS to come back ASAP

I was skimming thru the tv guide one day and im like how the fck are u MUSIC television and not one damn show is dedicated to music. Moving away from music videos and music related shows is part of why music took a dive imo

I agree! That MTV exposure played a important role in why the urban artists of the 80s-Early 2000s crossover!
We can see artists come and do live performances and mess, premiere videos again. Im really kinda excited about this. BET needs to follow suit tbh because every artist isnt gonna get the MTV platform

Ummmmm that's not true. Mtv has given many artists that platform. Firstly, Maxwell has already had an unplugged, so there goes that. Mtv recognizes musicians and this is not always about some who is the most popular thing. Vh1 just did one for Jill Scott for her last album and Jill Scott aint some huge mainstream artist so please be tf quiet

boy MTV in 2016 is not MTV in the 90s or VH1 period so all that nonsense is void
they are not letting niggers on there unless they are crossover. I could maybe see Maxwell getting one again
but Fantasia or Jazmine? not unless its on VH1 like Jill was
I kinda agree with Ray tbh
U are aware that Vh1 and Mtv are owned by the same people, right? So this mtv aint vh1 is void. Mtv is not some place that only recognizes mainstream artist. If Tyler the Creator who is a NOBODY can win a vma, they can give jill scott an hour long show, Ledisi, avery sunshine and others can perform on vh1 big buzz, then these girls who are very known in the world of R&B can get an unplugged.
I don't see a point in bringing TRL back when you can watch your favorite music video on your phone or computer anytime you want. That's a waste of airtime.
They do need to revamp Unplugged & Diary of tho

Its not EXACTLY TRL tho. This wonderland show is alot of stuff all wrapped into one. Musical guests is just also a element which is what im excited about
They do have a music documentary series in the works too and it gives u "diary"
do you work for mtv now
No, i just know how to read faggot LOLZ!

Viacom owns BET too it makes no difference
and Tyler is a rapper, they always get recognition
there isn't even a best R&B artist award at the VMAs
they are not gonna be giving R&B artists an unplugged on MTV in 2016
unless they are white
BET doesnt air the mtv awards and other mtv shows. Mtv and vh1 are SISTER stations :dead:
U have no idea what ur talkin about tbh, go look up the people who have gotten unplugs. Unplugged was not some christina, backstreet boys type of show EVER! There were some famous faces but alot of opportunities were given to up and comers, indie, etc. MTV gives opportunities to rap and R&B. One of the first damn unplug specials aired and the performers were mclyte, ll cool j, de la soul, a tribe called quest, etc. This was when rap wasn't even a respected genre and not regarded highly. Some of Ya'll be talking and don't know the history on shit
s
well the Movie awards were on BET lol
Maxwell did his unplug when he was NEW, not because he was famous. Im looking at Shakira's mess and hers was broadcast ENTIRELY in spanish and was her introduction to the American audience, not because she was some big pop girl, like stfu :dead:

dasdas yeah. When I said I don't watch MTV I mean it like I couldn't even find the damn channel so I went to BET and they were playing it so :letsmessfag:
also, I was watching BET this morning and saw a few commercials for VH1 shows. I think the lines are kind of blurring a bit
Didn't Miley Cyrus do an Unplugged mess for Bangerz?

Lavon just be rambling when someone debates him
"Oh really?"
Yes really, and my statement has nothing to do with history
of course back in the 90s & early 2000s they let anyone do an unplugged
but in 2016 I'd bet any money it's gonna be Adele, Justin T & Beiber, Iggy Azalea etc on that roster with maybe 1 token Black artist
This is amaz'
ugh
finally
f
Right, I'll go off their HISTORY and what they've always done VS a guess
oh, willing to bet

Because everything always goes the same
nothing changes History predicts everything!

no one can dispute this but you still talkin about the 90's, where everyone was promoted damn near everywhere and blacks had a fair shot. These days it has gotten a lot worse as far as the music industry goes. It's no automatic foregone conclusion that our faves will get on there this time around

We dont know, I'm definitely not gonna say ABSOLUTELY not because that's never what unplugged has been about. Its not like it was always superstars and Alist white people, this just ain't the case, so what he's saying is false
God is so good omg
They're still playing reruns of ridiculousness.
And THAT'S ridiculous
:youready:
btw I could have sworn Bet was airing the last VMA's, I'm almost certain.
I remember they played a RW Eppy and then MTV played College Hill.

I believe Brandy has what it takes to book a unplugged. 1 thing about Bran is she can book some tv! No matter what she's promoting
I was gonna ask I wonder how irrelevant MTV felt the way Bey paid them dust and went to HBO
Back in the day Lemonade would have been an MTV exclusive
Y'all really think they're gonna cater to our artists? Idk :uhh:
Watch it be like 5th harmony unplugged, Meagan trainer unplugged
Mark my words
Unplugged was never about highlighting just mainstream artists. That's not what made the show iconic. I definitely expect to see an adele or something but the show has never focused on these huge acts like y'all are trying to paint
