So ... how about that newly renamed network -- MSNOW (My Source News Opinion World)

formerly known as "MSNBC" but the owner of NBC wants its name and peacock out of the branding.

They're getting mercilessly mocked ... the name is stupid, and the logo looks like it was done by an intern with a 1990's era paint program.

This is both hysterical and pathetic.

MTV is shutting down its "music channels" at the end of the year.

For a long time, MTV moved more and more music videos away from its flagship network, choosing instead to air reality shows and other awful tripe. The music was moved to other networks such as MTV Music, MTV 80s, MTV 90s, Club MTV, and MTV Live. Those are the networks that are shutting down.

So now it's official: there is no longer any M in MTV.

I thought that was true decades ago.  Much like SNL, it died long long ago.

I think they kept creating spinoff channels (like VH-1) and saying that's where they'd focus more on music videos, but over time even the spinoff channels moved towards airing round-the-clock crapola. Eventually, once it became inexpensive to have a lot of channels, they created a few that were dedicated to music videos. Those are the ones they are now discontinuing.

Honestly, most of what's on television now (broadcast, cable, satellite) is utter garbage. The entire industry has descended into an abyss of craptasticity and is unnecessarily prolonging its own death.

I think its a combination of 2 things:

 

1 - They simply have run out of ideas for content. Those days are long behind us.

2 - They keep trying to recycle old ideas and wokeify them.

 

If they didn't do number 2, a few recycles or extensions would be ok if care was taken. Sometimes, you can do them better the 2nd time around ( like BSG for example. ) But, its easy to screw it up too, even with good intent.
