Gothamist: MTV Puts an End to TRL

As a channel, MTV hasn't been the same since the 1996-1997. Now they are a channel for rich white brats with problems like "I don't have a boyfriend this week". The real reason they are canceling TRL is because 106 & PARK on BET whipped their ass! Sadly, no one wants to admit it, a young black show that hasn't been on long took out a 10 year white veteran show. And for the record, I don't watch neither channels. All of these videos shows are played out and just old. If people want to see new videos, they are going to head to youtube or other music sites anyways. A video countdown show is so 1980s.

Those pictures of the Olsen twins cuddling with each other are disturbing. Does anyone else think those two "experimented" with each other?

MTV should quit any kind of programming and just run an endless slew of suggestive ads. No one would notice the change.

I used to watch this show *all* the time back in High School (98-2001) and even a few years after (2002,03). And the Carson Daly left and I stopped watching. It made TIMES SQUARE at least a little interesting, I saw the entire cast of the MATRIX, X-MEN as well as Tom Cruise, David Boreanaz, and The Rock on the streets (with a huge crowd around them) back then. But its been sucking for years now.

MTV should hire Jen Carlson THEN put an end to MTV.

Isn't Carson Daly the KING of Late Nights now that Conan is leaving for LA?

I remember back in 99 they had Eminem take over the joint for an entire afternoon and it was great. He made fun of the entire thing and it totally worked. You just knew that he was having a blast doing it too. That's about when I stopped watching MTV for good. Oh to be 19 again.

Every time there is a post about MTV, there are comments about how MTV does not play any videos. The reason MTV does not play any videos is because when they did, no one watched. Video hours get the worst ratings. "Real World" got great ratings. If everyone who wants MTV to play more videos actually watched those video hours, then maybe MTV would get the ratings enough to keep them.

So this means that MTV has finally decided to do away with the whole music video thing.

Yo! MTv's Crap! Remember the golden age of videos? when videos were actually artistic? I blame hip hop for making videos all about louis vuitton,bentleys and kristal. That made all the white people stop watching videos.

That was a great video that Sonny Crockett made. Two of my friends are in that video, albeit for 7/10ths of a second but they are in it. May you make more of those video's Tom Johnson.

Couldn't they just cancel Mtv, or actually play music videos again, instead of airing way too many shows centered around a bunch of spoiled brats?

This is long overdue. The show has been a disgrace since 2004.

Where is the cast of One Tree Hill going to go when they are in NYC? Where are people going to get their shout outs from?
