Looks like MTV decided to embrace that “M” in their moniker and will start airing *gasp* music videos again.
From 3 to 9 a.m. Monday through Thursday, it will show music videos, news, interviews and performances, harking back to the network’s origins as a 24-hour home for music videos. The network is bringing back “Unplugged,” its series of acoustic performances by artists.
I’m a little saddened by this because 3 am was the time I could catch a random episode of Making The Band or T.I.’s Road To Redemption after getting home from the gym.
Not that I’m against them airing videos again, because I love having them playing in the background on low while I’m navigating on the laptop. I’m not too sure what MTV’s logic behind this move is. They already play reruns during this time frame, so it can’t be a cost-cutting maneuver. We’re all accustomed over here to watching whatever we want, when we want on blogs, YouTube, Worldstar or where ever else. And I’m guessing a majority of the people who’d actually want the see these videos will be either sleep or heading off to work and school during the viewing. However, doing what seems to make sense isn’t in vogue among corporate America right now, so there’s no sense in holding MTV to higher expectations than anyone else, right?
Plus Unplugged is coming back and that should be worth something.

It’s about time.
Let’s see Bobby Ray on Unplugged!
unplugged with kanye or lupe fiasco or kid cudi would be cool!!
anyway, dope they bringin it back..
as long as they not gonna do a lil wayne unplugged it could be dope!
This is pretty good news. I outgrew MTV about a decade ago and I’ll never watch the channel again, but there’s noting wrong with taking it back to the essence, ever for only a few hours a day.
They only had Jay-Z and Lauryn Hill do an MTV Unplugged session. Can’t expect any other rap acts doing one soon. Try VH1.
ll cool j mama said knock you out unplugged was classic.
At 3am I watch BET waiting for Uncut to come back
I spend the nights “surfing the web” (for lack of a better term) finding new songs only to see them here in the mornings loosies…patience is a virtue taught by TSS..Major
o yea n Mtv shoulda been MTV Jams the network…what about a jam of the week instead of commercials bout Ne-yo, or Jim jones on the street in a “hood” office in between shows..or more new artists hear it first….
^^^
cant we start a facebook group or twitter sumthin or sumbody 4 that BET Uncut back, David D.?

Common or OutKast Unplugged something I would like to see

=========================================
CO – SIGN to the Nth degree
lol @ David D. – i’m right there with u mayne (pause)
From 3 to 9? For 6 hours that a lot of people aren’t even up? I’ll keep on my boycott, then.
David D you took the words right out of my mouth. I refuse to watch BET until they bring back Uncut & Rap City & I ain’t talkin bout that weak shit with Q45 I’m talkin bout the Basement with Big Tigga.
