Game Show Network hosting Extreme Dodgeball
Hey! I like Extreme Dodgeball!
Don't mess with the sexy!
Well, quite a lot of fuss. If I didn't know better, I'd think we were dangerous.

Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Thrive to spite them
If we're talking about channels that have strayed from their origins I'd say A&E (Arts and Entertainment) has gone pretty far away from that, they are still heavy on the entertainment but pretty light on the arts.
And then there is the practically music video - less MTV and VH1.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Hey, now. They have a good six or so hours every morning.

Grrrr....
Not that there are many videos I want to see these days as popular music and I parted company a long time ago. I'm sure the expensive cable package has channels that show the '80s videos, but I only pay 23 bucks a month for cable and I'm keeping it that way.

VH-1 Classic. ijs. All kinds of cool videos, neatly lumped by your preferred era and/or genre from Metal to Alternative.

When I was at the theatre at the Grove, I think last weekend?, there was a costume in the lobby from some movie where Alan Cumming plays Loki. It was pretty cool.

VH-1 Classic.
Which does not appear as one of my cable choices. Grr ....

Up with the sun
I have the expensive cable, and as far as I can tell VH1 Classic, MTV en Espanol, and MTV Hits are the only channnels that actually play videos most of the time. Even MTV2, which was supposed to be cool when it launched, is all reruns of MTV programming from the '90's now.
It's sad. Do Real World reruns really get great ratings? And whose genius idea was it to cut the few videos they DO show into 90-second clips and have people talking over them, more often than not? Argh.

To be fair, there's a goodly amount of music on those I Love the __'s shows that VH1 currently airs on continuous loop.

But just teaser length.
Of a morning, I'll leave TiVo on VH1 or MTV, and then rewind through the saved thirty minutes to see the highlights reel. During prime time I usually want to watch actual narrative TV, so their morning music schedule works perfectly for me. 3am to 10:30 am, if I read the MTV schedule right.
