MTV primarily broadcasts a variety of popular culture and reality-television shows targeted at teenagers and young adults. The channel still plays a limited selection of music videos.
Ingeborg and I are both huge fans of MTV, and there are innumerable times where we have ended up sitting watching ''16 and pregnant'' all night long. The show is about young girls struggling with the challenges of teenage pregnancy, and every week there is a different girl, and hardly any of them are considering having an abortion or giving the baby away. This is a typical MTV program, which is very shocking and catches a lot of attention. Another MTV show we like to watch is ''The Hills'' which follows wealthy, pretty people´s fabulous lives, as they work with fashion in Los Angeles.
MTV has a long history of hosting live music events in which awards are handed out, and today the network produces over 20 award shows annually. In 1984 the channel established MTV Video Music Awards show, to celebrate and award the top music videos of the year. The show developed into a music-industry showcase marketed as a more youth-targeted alternative to the Grammy awards. The award show is presented annually and broadcasted live on MTV. We really enjoy watching this show as well, because it keeps us updated in the music-world and all the artists presented are world famous. We have to go eat, so goodbye, snaiks.
