This is true.  I can remember, about six/seven years ago when my parents
first got sky.  The MTV2 channel back then would just play continuously
in one hour slots, listeners' requests for music videos.  Typically
there'd be fifteen songs in an hour.   It was great.  The ecclectic mix
of music and genres was indeed an eye-opener.   Alas, the format is no
more -- and it has gone the American way of:  "Random talking with
whiny Amercians is what the people want, whilst getting out of playing
music."
