cajunaggie08 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 I'm surprised Viacom still feels like the MTV brand holds any value being related to actual music content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sportscenter Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 That's a big downgrade. Viacom is on a rebranding kick and so far it hasn't been postive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's see...Nick changed it up some years ago, MTV's got shorter, their Jams and Soul video channels got rebranded to belong to BET, Paramount changed it up for lasting a century...what else is next? I wouldn't be surprised if MTV completely redesigns it's logo, let alone go with a new name in the same direction they are heading now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillz Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I've never heard of Palladia, but it seemed like much stronger branding than MTV, which has been in a network rot state since the late 90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FSUViking Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Oh great....I give it 6 months before it's showing Real World re-runs. Palladia was pretty cool. Remains to be seen if that continues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillz Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I remember when MTV2 came out, was supposed to be music videos, all the time. Within a year or so, it just started showing rejected MTV trash. Like I said, I don't know Palladia's original premise, but the fact this logo is moving it into the MTV brand tells me it's just gonna be another waste of time showing garbage. Granted, I guess YouTube has kind of killed off the need for a music video channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted, I guess YouTube has kind of killed off the need for a music video channel. Palladia was a channel dedicated to live music performances and/or concerts. I barely watched it..and I guess others did too. Obviously, this is the old "stick your name on top" way of getting people to tune in. As for music videos on TV, well, it's just sad. Ten years ago, I'd binge the MTV Hits channel and its sister channels that do 24/7 music videos just to enjoy music while getting a glimpse at (hopefully) quality videos. Now a days, that's just not gonna happen for me. I'd rather listen to a song 10 times on Spotify than play it with its music video running on YouTube. Hell, do the casual people in this world even care for music videos anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cajunaggie08 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I like watching Palladia. I can't make it to all of these music festivals so it was always cool to see the festival highlights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What other stuff have they rebranded? The article I mentioned said they were but when I looked at the list of networks on wiki nothing showed up anything different.

MTV has too much of a strong historic branding associated with it for them to change. Thats like saying the Red Sox are going to rebrand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJTank Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I guess this means soon Palladia will be showing old Real World and Jersey Shore reruns www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmejia Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I hardly ever watch Palladia live, but it's one of my more recorded channels. Once a month or so I'll give an extended look through their guide and record future programmings of concerts that look interesting. It creates a pretty solid ready-to-watch concert list after a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYUNDERDOGS Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Look at the bright side. At lease they still have the same slogan. Also because of the change I guess I have the channel now.
