As of today MTV is 25 years old! The concept of MTV has changed a lot since the heyday of music videos and the heavy localization has already killed the MTV I fell in love with. And I won’t even start dissing the actual programming (yuh know, just Pimp My Ride and Newdlyweds, no music at prime time, not much hip hop…).
But I still think that the semilocal MTV2 and MTV Base are pretty cool. The content of both MTVBase and MTV2 at least in Finland comes from UK. And UK is the homeland of Sky Channel, which was my first contact with music vids! Y´all know the deal – Mick Wall and Monsters Of Roooooock….
Happy Bithday to MTV still. You’ve grown to be a big media player now, so beware of Youtube.com and other rivals of the digital age.

Dude, you are blogging at exactly the same time as me! Like whoa!
wez on cutting edge, we tv nerds!
whadda you talkin about? newlyweds & Pimp my ride are the shit (although both are kinda old). not to mention Beavis & Butthead which ive been REALLY feeling recently. And i'm dying to cathc "There & Back"...
There and Back is great. PMR sucks because PMR re-runs are the only thing to watch on like 4 channels at the prime time.
But I still look forward to the new PMR Worldwide (or whateva it's called) hosted by Lil Jon and Fat Joe I guess.
