Yeah, I recall MTV actually playing music once upon a time.
VH1 appeared in an attempt to take over that genre after MTV quit playing music.
VH1 is now in the same boat.
Nah, VH1 was around while MTV was still playing videos. VH1 just played the more “adult” stuff, while MTV was for the younger crowd. VH1 was actually owned by MTV anyway, so they were never in competition. Maybe you are thinking of “MTV2”?
