Message: <blockquote data-quote="Vraille Darkfang" data-source="post: 3985022" data-attributes="member: 16989">Well,One of the 2 last Music Video Channels I get is dead.  Came home, turned on IMF (International Music Feed) and got Ovation TV (which suked before, sucks now, & will suck in the future.  The bought IMF for the music rights, but I doubt they'll show more than an hour or two a day.Thus Ovation (Formally IMF) joins the ranks of channels I boycott:MTV (Music Televsion that has no music).MTV 2 (Founded to play music when Music Televison decided they liked cheap reality better; now the home of even cheaper reality).VH1 (Video Hits & home to even more horrid reality channels).CMT (Country Music Televison, that has stopped playing country music over the last year or so).BET (Black Entertainment Televsion.  Used to play almost exclusivly music videos, but as the only Music Channel not to indicate any usical preference, I'm not so upset about the change).So, on Dish Network, on those channels DEDICATED EXCLUSIVLY TO MUSIC!!!!!!!Here is what I'm stuck with:Ovation (Non-music, occasional Opera, if it is the same as what I had several cable companies ago).Fuse TV (In the last 3 months, they've dropped the Music Vidoes by 90% & remotely music related by 50%).SITV (Used to be pretty much Music Videos, but always called itself more of a channel for Latinos, so I can't fault them for actually living up to their channel purpose).MTV (Home of some of the worst Reality shows I've ever seen, Viacom is totally destroying MTV for Low Cost, but high profit due to being on every Cable System in the country.  But screw the hard work & ingenuity that got us there).MTV2 (See MTV).VH1 Classic (Fewer & fewer music shows, more & more re-runs of horrid Made for VH1 Specials).VH1 (May all at Viacom have Rapid, Dire, Legendary, Vampiric, Fiendish, Weasels attack their crotch).CMT (Maybe someone at Viacom should look up "Music" in a Dictionary).GAC (Great American Country).  Actually shows Country Music Videos.  Imagine that, in a day of hundreds of specialtiy channels, one that bothers to name itself & live up to that name.Spike TV (Still there from when it was TNN, the Nashville Network).  See; they decided to change their name when they went in another direction.  I suppose CCPTRTV( Cheap, Crappy Pre-Teen Reality TV) just doesn't have the same ring as MTV.So, of the 10 DEDICATED by Dish Network Music Video Channels, I'm down to ONE (GAC), that actually is predominatly music-related.I also have Telemudo 2 up on the Spanish Side that shows mainly Music Videos.There are also the Radio Channels that at least play music.You'd think out of the over 500+ channels I have access to & the amount of Money the recording industy brings in, I'd have a few Music Video Channels (or at least the Big Music Companies putting some pressure to have more airtime).Or, read about <a href="http://www.ovationtv.com/aboutus/pressrelease/" target="_blank">Ovation TV</a> for yourself & see if you think its a little wierd they just bought IMF, Killed it, & forced their only-marginally similiar Channel in its place.Or, if the compaines didn't want you there, what makes you think they'll keep you there now?</blockquote>
