And now they don't play music at all. If you don't count the MTV Classic channel.

I never even had MTV. Any Canadian know if Much Music still exists and/or plays music?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

Much still exists, but there hasn't been music on there for a long time.

Funny thing. I didn't have MTV growing up. I had Much Music. I'm from the US btw.

That's... unexpected.

How did that come to be?

[–] hal_5700X 5 points 9 months ago

Safe bet, MTV cost too much for my cable company.

Rob Dyrdek finessed his way into MTV and now he's all they air. Dude hustled MTV cuz their management got lazy and he basically took over for them.
