Talk:Fuse (TV channel)

message: A brief look at this page indicate to me a strong bias, not in opposition to FUSE, on the contrary, it sounds like it's try to make FUSE out to be a diverse and eclectic music station, something it isn't and hasn't been for a long time. It's well worth mentioning that FUSE used to play music videos ranging from punk to metal to alternative, as the times changed modern rock and emo became the staple, now it plays Top 40 Pop & Hip-Hop; Truth be told, it's actually become progressively less "diverse" and now caters to IMO the lowest denominator. When MTV went in a more commercial direction, FUSE kept the old charm that MTV orginally had, playing videos by unknown artists and devoteing special programs to genres like Heavy Metal, Hardcore, Grunge i.e. not radio-friendly. Now that MTV has moved on to Reality Shows (as did VH1... ugh), FUSE again decided to take the marketing niche that MTV left behind, even though people who watched FUSE enjoyed it precisely because it DIDN'T play the popular stuff and gave something different and at times challanging to the music-listening public.
I've repeatedly watched FUSE lately in an attempt to see if some of that what made then admired was still there... I watched count-down after count-down which consisted solely of Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne, Eminem, and Lady Gaga. To my knowledge, the only time they play anything that isnt by one of these "artists" it during or around the time of Vans Warp Tour. Even then, they only play songs by bands like Gyn Class Heros i.e. musicians who had already "gotten their foot in the door" so to speak by cracking the Top-40 at one point or another; they wouldn't dare play music like The Casulaties, simply because "nobody knows them".
In any case, I think I've made my point. Unless anyone objects, I will reinstate the criticism section outlining some of the things I just mentioned.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.140.104.120 (talk) 05:43, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Critisism Section Disappearance?

message: This doesn't show up on the disabiguation page for the word "Fuse", I personally would never have thought to look under "Fuse channel", it’s never referred to as that. I only found it via Google.
:Currently, the "Fuse" disambiguation page lists "Fuse (television)" which redirects here. --SWalkerTTU 22:42, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

This page needs a lot of work especially the criticism section, I've fixed up as much as I knew how.

message: Can someone clarify the section about MuchMusic USA/Rap City/"the last Canadian show" to be aired? Was there a reason for this? Did it perform poorly, was it complained about? It seems like a really weird segway. DaveWF 04:51, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It was just the last MuchMusic show to air on MuchUSA, by fall 2002 the only Much shows that were left were 90 minutes of Videoflow weekday afternoons at 3pm and Rap City at 11pm, Videoflow was dropped in December, Rap City continued airing for the next month or so.Kyl416 (talk) 06:21, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

message: I deleted most of the technical lissues section becuase it is mostly irrelevent. I moved some of it into the citicism secction. However I have also noticed the sound compression problems to be true, one example would be Linkin Park's What I've Done video, which sounds terrible on fuse.  However this all needs a source.

message: Fuse TV had a TV show that worked like a stock exchange only with artists and songs. It aired in 2003 and probably into 2004.  I never participated in it, but I believe fans could win prizes with a certain number of points by acquiring popular artists and songs via the Internet. They would raise and lower in "value" much like stocks. This was a significant program on Fuse and quite unique, but I don't see information on it here. I can't remember the name of the show but probably would if I saw it. Cale (talk) 20:57, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe it was IMX. I think I'll add some more info on this show. Cale (talk) 20:59, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Folks, since May 1, 2002, MTVX has been dissolved and got replaced by the channel MTV Jams, so we don't need MTVX anymore because Fuse TV has now played Rock, Metal, Alternative, Hardcore, Punk, Emo, Indie and much, much more...  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.90.178.88 (talk) 02:35, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
