...While all these things are indeed valid economic factors that Peter Bart and Peter Gruber can discuss in great detail, none of them have had the same far-reaching ripple effect as MTV&rsquo;s self-destructive act of programming wall-to-wall reality shows at the expense of music videos.  

...No, not those silly one-in-a-million, no-budget, phenomena that your old college roommate sends you via instant-message, only to have you watch about sixty seconds until passing it along to another friend before returning to your TPS reports.  

...In fact, shortly after &ldquo;The Real World&rdquo; premiered, so did &ldquo;Beavis & Butthead&rdquo; but the the difference is I don&rsquo;t see wall-to-wall animated pubescent programming when I turn to MTV now.  

...And even if more people do tune into those shows, you can&rsquo;t tell me that you make more money on advertising for the prime sub-teen audience after the expense of producing the show is taken out.  

...This barrier to entry created upward creative competition to make better music video content, and along the way it created jobs, not just for the directors but also for all of the supporting positions that go with any film production.    ...  Mmm, maybe, but I can guarantee that as soon as any filmmaker achieves any level of creative or financial success on the internet, they will quickly be moving to greener pastures of the paid and budgeted broadcast, cinematic, or online world, which further underscores the point.  ...  Thus, in the absence of a centralized viewing arena on television or online, there is currently no viable platform for music videos, and the creative breeding ground for the film industry has suffered as a result.  ]]></content:encoded></item></channel>
