thats probably why its stopped. commercialism always wins in the end.

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

god bless capitalism.

[Sidders]

Oh well, there's still TMF.

[Nablo.]

U music or what ever it's called is one to avoid nothing but rubbish makes the Classical FM channel look good.

[MK Chris]

Classic FM have a Sky channel? Thank Christ I don't go to my Dad's any more.

[Nablo.]

Yes they do and it's constantly playing classical music but you do get the odd Vanessa Mae video in there

[Ickle Angel]

I was listening to smash hits fm the other day and was pleasently suprised at the music they were playing. Its normally daphne and celeste

[Nablo.]

I've never ever seen Daphne and Celeste on Smash hits.

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

nothing good ever happens to you does it nablo?

[MK Chris]

Yes they do and it's constantly playing classical music

Really? I would have thought there would have been a bit of eveything on there - Bit of Marilyn Manson, Eminem, I'm sure the coffin dodgers would love it.

[coct]

Nowt wrong with a bit of classical music sometimes. It can make you feel very powerful.

[MK Chris]

I can't stand it, it's a load of bollocks. A couple of weeks ago our landlady decided to put it on in the bar, f*ck me we all felt like slitting our wrists.

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

its brilliant driving in the car to just swaying all over the road to the music.

[Uglybob]

thats probably why its stopped. commercialism always wins in the end.

p-rock is back on again, must have forgot to pay the electric bill or something. same blinkin videos though, who the hell wants to watch Dr Greenthumb by Cypress Hill every 15 minutes. They say more channels, more choice. I bet to differ. Currently Avril Lavigne is on 8 stations and I make a challenge for you not to find 2 Eminem videos on a different channel at the same time. As for VH1, they must just think that older people have short attention spans cos they keep repeating the same thing all day

100 worst videos (by the way it was Cliff Richard and Wired For Sound)
100 best videos (by the way it was Weapon of Choice that won it)
100 One Hit Wonders
100 Greatest US One Hit Wonders presented by William Shatner

but you cant beat Pop Up Video though. If they did it with new songs it would be ok.

[Gigglyboots]

They always do the top 100 floorfillers, which the number1 was guessable anyway.

100 best videos was good, just too much C list celebrities talking un the midst.

I noticed P-rock was back, but can't stand to watch it. I can't do that challenge, theres always Eminem on somewhere. I like Classic Fm though, I don't care how slated I get for it either. Vanessa Mae and all that's good to chill out too. And what's happened to Kerrang, you see Avril on it and I wouldn't really class her as rock.

[David]

since the demise of Play UK - the only music channel I ever really care to look at is the Amp...


Why did they get rid of Play UK? It was the best.

[Gigglyboots]

That was very funny, nice music and then funny programs at night.

[Jonny Hoare]

Because the BBC used to own a stake in it, and it was taking viewers from choice.

Plus the programmes werre being shown on UK Gold

[Dopey]

that or it wasnt getting enough viewers

[gregs]

agree with jonny. bbc wanted as many viewers for choice to show it was worth commisioning

g

[Uglybob]

but surely they failed, because they had to rebrand it. I dont see the point of starting BBC3 at 7pm, I think it has to be at least 12 hours because i switch around the channels at 5pm and i end up watching music video stations.

[gregs]

ye, but government won't grant 2 licences or summut to run cbbc channel independantly.

i think they re-branded it when the re-commisioned the channel, so it would fit in - BBC4 launched first, whilst bbc3 was pending approval, otherwise they would have had to rebrand 4.
