MTV Ditches the Music

After 29 years, MTV has finally slashed the "Music Television" from its name. The change was long overdue, considering that by 2008, the network was only playing three hours of music videos per day, a number that plunged even further once Total Request Live went off the air. MTV also altered their logo slightly (at left) while their sister network, VH1, is sticking by its slogan "Very Humiliating." [THR]
