Mine would have to be MTV2. Even though they added commercials and even a couple of non-music video shows :eek: after the MTV2 debut on analog cable, it's still the best channel for music videos out there. VH1 Classic is pretty good, too. I like what they play during the segment called Rock Fest. MuchMusic USA needs improvement, such as removing those annoying cropbars, adding some more MuchMusic Canada programming, and diversifying the video rotation on VideoFlow (seems like the same videos over and over to me).

I hate MTV, too much pop and cRAP and theyre more of an entertainment channel now, instead of music videos
I love the Rock videos MTV2 Shows, I love it now that E* has the program info
VH-1, Never really watched it that much
VH-1 Classic, truely one of a kind, I like 50s and 60s music and some some classic rock from the 70s and 80s
MMUSA, again I like the rock but not that pop and cRAP
CMT, I voted for that since basically I like everything on there, but I hate the commercials every 3 videos
GAC, I dont like the hosts

There are 2 music video channels I always wanted to see added, one is now dead (MTVX, now if that were alive and on DBS that would have gotten my vote, hands down) and VH-1 County, ahha country music channel by Viacom thats commercial free. But I do think Viacom will merge CMT and VH-1 Country together and Discovery will merge The Health Network and Discovery Heath together, its only a matter of time.

(MTVX, now if that were alive and on DBS that would have gotten my vote, hands down) I still can't believe that Viacom got rid of MTVX. Do they actually think that MTV Jams stands a better chance when there's already BET and VH1 Soul?

Yeah MTVX was on in a million. Hopefully one day Viacom will wake up and realize dropping MTVX was a mistake.

I said GAc, but you forgot my actual favorite - Praise TV. I just wish I got it. My friends do and I really like it. One, I'm not sure if I have a line of sight. And two, I ain't gonna pay the $150 or so for another dish.

Or $20something on Ebay plus switch :)

BTW- Mark, I never figured you for a country guy before.

Is MTV a music video channel? IMHO, it hasn't been a music video channel for years.

Being an old geezer (relatively speaking if you eliminate Nick :lol:) I have to go for VH-1 Classics. Great stuff.

Of the US ones, I would prefer VH1 Classic these days, but with Expressvu, I do prefer Edge TV or even Musique Plus for more of a variety than I can get from the US channels. I miss the old M2 and the old MuchMusic which used to have broader playlists.
