On August 1, 1981 a new era in music began. It was the date of the launch of MTV (Music Television), a t.v. station devoted to playing music videos 24/7. Various artists found success on MTV which translated to the Billboard Charts.
However, as of late MTV began playing less and less music videos and more "reality" shows, much to the chagrin of viewers and the music community. Now the only the on time when one can watch a block of music videos on the supposed Music Television is between 3 a.m. to 9 a.m. What was once a great way for artists to spread there music became a channel devoted to bad reality shows.
We, the undersigned, call on MTV to increase the amount of music videos aired on the station or to completely revert to their original 24-hour video programming, doing away with or deceasing the number of reality shows as a result.
