MTV Ratings Prompt Changes
Way back in 1992, MTV started a new generation of reality shows with their successful “The Real World” but now that there is a 23% drop in ratings among the 12-34 year old core demo, they have decided to overhaul the channel with 16 new reality shows over the next year.
According to www.variety.com, who quoted Brian Graden, president of entertainment at MTV Networks music channels, MTV’s new shows will “feature themes of affirmation and accomplishment. Our shows are going to focus less on loud and silly hooks and more on young people proving themselves. These are themes that are consistent with the Obama generation.”
Good luck with that. Insert heavy sarcasm here…
