Stung by criticism of its interrupted coverage of last week's Live 8 concerts, MTV Networks has announced plans to offer 10 consecutive hours of commercial-free performance coverage today. VH1 will broadcast highlights from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., and MTV will show highlights from 3 to 8 p.m. "At MTV and VH1, we're in a constant and candid dialogue with our audience, and in the wake of the live events last Saturday, our viewers have resoundingly told us online they want to see full-set performances from their favorite artists," said Van Toffler, the president of MTV Networks Group, who called the concerts "one of the most important music events of our time."
I didn't read the on-line forums, but it's fun (and easy) to think of the colorful statements represented by the word "resoundingly."

Pink Floyd reunites for the first time in 20 years and they cut to a commercial in the middle of "Comfortably Numb."
Not only should they apologize for 10 hours, they should do it kneeling on marbles.
That's the first time I watched MTV since The Who broke up.
TRC: I have a feeling the MTV forums were complaining about not getting to hear the music.
Honestly, what did people expect? MTV hasn't been *Music* Television for at least 5 years now, if not more than that!
