duffman   10 #1 Posted January 18, 2004 When flicking through the music channels you can usually find at least 2 with the same song on at any one time. There seems to be too many concentrating on pop and chart, like smash hits,kiss,flaunt,ure channel,the box,milk,zest,donkey....aaarrrggghhh!!!!  Sorry got carried away there, need to lay down for a bit!

BrainThrust   10 #2 Posted January 18, 2004 I don't think there are too many, they just all play the same crap, bring back the days of the Shakira video! (the one where she shakes her arse and the ground explodes)  I have been known to waste an afternoon/evening watchign music channels, there is something addictive about them, despite it mostly being crap.  At least MTV2 is there...  Wilf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Rich   12 #3 Posted January 18, 2004 I never watch the music channels apart from brief viewing of the 80s days VH1 shows on Saturdays so I wouldn't care all that much if they weren't available. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
jackthedog   10 #4 Posted January 19, 2004 Dunno if there is too many of them, but they seem to be on a cycle of about 15 songs. If you watch for about half an hour, you end up seeing the same crap again.  A few of them say you call in to select the song you want, but I dont know anybody who does - or has ever done - this.

It is mostly crap, but isn't it something to do with the scenery, like in the Shakira video, that keeps you watching? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Lou   10 #6 Posted January 19, 2004 I don't think there's too many, but if anymore get put on air then it might start getting a bit too much. At least there's a channel for most music tastes.  However, I agree that the same songs are repeated a lot and sometimes are on different channels at the same time. Seems unnecessary when there's so many songs! I think that could definately be improved. I sometimes end up getting sick of a song because it's on all the time.  My friend is quite cynical about ringing up to vote for a song. She reckons all the songs are on a loop so no matter what you vote for it's gonna come up soon anyway!  I watch the Antiques Rock Show on Scuzz quite a bit and I've noticed that there's hardly any songs to choose from. So the chances of them playing a song you would vote for are quite high, especially as it's usually on for an hour with advert breaks every 10-15 minutes or so.

fnkysknky   10 #7 Posted January 21, 2004 Don't see how there could be too many music channels although having to put up with chart/pop crap gets annoying I can always find at least one decent tune to listen to out of them all. I can quite happily spend a large amount of time flicking through just the music channels Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
tango2   10 #8 Posted January 21, 2004 If you flick through the channels fast enough you can make your own club mix.lol  There is just about the right amount at the moment,my main gripe is when watching some of them,it has a flash in corner.  Example being shakira weekend,what do you get ?,hours of westlife. Wheres the justice these days ?. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I probably should have posted a different question, I just think there's too many that play chart and pop, if you want specialist channels you have to pay extra.

RPG Â Â 10 #11 Posted January 21, 2004 The selection is poor, MTV2 has gone crap as well, what happened to the MUSIC part? Â The Amp and VH2 are the best IMO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

There is too many who play the same type music. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
