- The subject line above says it all. I've noticed this trend for the
- last few years but I believe it has gotten much more worse especially
- over this past year. The guys who work the board at VH-1 literally fade
- out the videos before the last note is even played/sung. I'm not sure
- why they do it(maybe time constraints - fitting in Rosie O'Donnel's
- StandUp SpotLight,Gallagher,FashionTV between Classic SNL skits) but
- I find it really disturbing since the channel that promotes itself as
- a 24-hr all-day all-night music video channel butchers its product the
- same way Ted Turner colorized old classic movies which were shown on his
- SuperStation(TBS) a few years back - no respect or any appreciation for
- the work of film/video art.
