The future of IPTV is also music videos

A long time ago, in a land far removed from modern times, there existed a truly new idea to put music on TV 24 hours a day. Thus was born the MTV generation. Sadly many members of todays youth do not remember the likes of Nina Blackwood, Mark Goodman, Alan Hunter, J. J. Jackson and Martha Quinn. Those same youths hear the name Adam Curry and they think, “isn’t he that guy who invented podcasting and edited his own wikipedia entry?”

MTV has not been a 24 hour music video station for a long time. In fact, you would be hard pressed to find music video content on MTV because they have become something else. Even their sister station VH1 (where MTV fans over the age of 12 go) as stopped being a music video network.

This is where IPTVcomes in. The online music television network hearkens back to the days when MTV was good and worth watching. Drawing from independent artists, IPTV puts the viewer back in the heyday of music video television.
