21st century digital boy
Well it looks like they've done some retooling over at VH-1 Classic -- seemingly a must watch for anyone who appreciates when MTV played music consistently. Headline Act looks be to a nice change of pace -- 30 minutes (ok, maybe 18 with all the house ads) of videos of one band plus little trivia bits in between (watching the U2 block right now). If you like the band featured, you're hooked for a bit, if not, you move on. I'm not a metal person, but there's now a metal block. And there's some request show, which doesn't look as promising, but who knows. The whole channel still blows other music video channels out of the water.

Slightly down the dial, the other MTV digital channel that's not MTV2 is now MTV Hits (was MTVX -- rock music; then MTV Jams -- R&B and hip hop). Hmm, so this is the channel that MTV used to be. Oh well, at least I can catch up on my pop music, if just for question-writing purposes.
