Music television is a type of television programming which focuses predominantly on playing music videos from bands, usually on dedicated television channels.
This original purpose of the channel was to show music videos although today they also broadcast a variety of pop culture, youth culture, and reality television shows aimed at adolescents and young adults.
These channels moral influence on young people, including examples of censorship and social activism , has been the subject of debate for years.

Examples of music channels are:
MTV :MTV One -this includes general entertainment such as reality shows, interviews, behind the scenes of music videos -choice to focus on non-music programming has also been contested relentlessly, demonstrating the channel's continued impact on popular culture.
MTV Base -plays hip hop, R&B and rap music as well as corresponding programming to those genres of music
MTV Dance -dedicated dance music channel with music videos and programming of underground and mainstream dance tracks
MTV Hits- a channel which plays chart music videos
MTV Two - alternative rock music, with other commercial mainstream music types found on MTV's other music channels
MTV Flux -allows viewers to take "control" of the channel by sending in video clips to MTV Flux's website, and requesting music videos.
VH1 UK -targeted at 25-44 year olds playing chart and popular music from the 1970s to the present day. VH1 also carries music programming and themed countdown shows from their US counterpart.
VH1 Classic UK - plays all time greats from the '60s to the '90s.
TMF UK -started as a non-stop music channel, although the channel now features more and more programming from MTV and other sister channels.
Other channels include:
The Hits, The Chart Show, B4, The Box (pop and RNB)
Classic FM TV (Classical music)
Channel U (grime, hip hop, rap, garage)
Kerrang!, Vault (rock, grunge, indie)
WHAT CHANNELS OUR ARTIST WOULD FEATURE ON:
MTV 2
As this is predominantly alternative music which I would classify our artist as, rather than mainstream.
MTV FLUX
this also plays a mix of alternative and mainstream music, but an important factor which would be most appealing to fans is the idea of interactivity -being able to feedback on videos, send in responses or create your own.
VH1
Even though this is mainly mainstream pop music, it is aimed at an older and more mature audience who we also wished to target our artist to, and it is this age group that are unlikely to watch any of the channels.

even though this channel doesn't actually play music videos i thought it could feature exclusive programmes on our artist such as interviews, making the video, behind the scenes gossip etc.
