MTV - channels being put out of their misery.

[NancyJohnson]

Yeah, I know MTV hasn't really been about music for several decades.

 

Half a dozen MTV channels being pulled off the air across Europe end of December.  MTV has been more about reality TV shows than music for some time, for me, no great loss, but I do have fond memories of Headbangers and Ray Cokes.

Headbangers Ball. That's a bit of a blast from the past. Presented by someone called Vanessa, if I recall correctly.

Also Ray Cokes. He was great doing that Most Wanted segment.

I have fond memories of watching MTV when it was actually a music channel. I started to watch that Real World show they started and at that point I started to drift away from the channel. You could see where it was heading.

Yep, Vanessa Warwick. She was married to Ricky Warwick of The Almighty at the time.
