I don`t care what they play i`d just like to see something other than dire music videos.

I`d like to see them do something like a showcase program where they invite bands of any genre that are doing the rounds in clubs that maybe have a couple of singles or one album out and bring them into a studio in front of an audience to play a few songs to give them wider exposure.They could also bring in a couple of name bands too to give it more veiwers.

This sort of program has always done well in the UK with shows like The Old Grey Whistle Test , The Tube , The White Room & Later With Jools Holland , yet i`ve never really seen anything like it on MTV. Which is a shame given it`s supposed to be a music station.
