MTV is in trouble- lucky they KNOW how to fix it.

MTV's ratings have dropped 23% among it's prized demographic of 12 to 23 year-olds. Even 'the Hills' is down by a quarter since a year ago. But the geniuses at MTV know what the problem is: NOT ENOUGH cheesy "reality" shows! SO they are adding 16 new pieces of poop to their schedule in the next 4 moths! That's right, an average of one new "reality" show each week! And they sound great, too- Donald Trump sending wild girls off to an English boarding school sounds so classy! I can't wait!

So they laugh every time they realize the M stands for Music?

Well I'm not in their target age demographic, but I NEVER watch MTV anymore.

Well at least they're not asking for a bailout plan.

And good riddance. I don't think this channel--a staple of my youth--will really be missed by anyone.

“Our shows are going to focus less on loud and silly hooks and more on young people proving themselves.”

...

Meanwhile, Trump’s show, “Girls of Hedsor Hall,” will follow a dozen hard-partying young women as they are sent to an English finishing school.

Too bad those two statements contradict each other. Good try MTV.

Do they air anything but reality shows at this point?

They aired Legally Blonde the musical last year.

But that's about it.

I'm personally excited for The City! But anyway, I think that the station should either change the channel's name or bring back the music.
