Project MTV: The Complete Guide

Image
In mid-September 2025, I had convinced myself to write out a plan that had been in my brain for a while that I never had the nerve to get out of my head.  I created an entire plan to reinvent, reimagine, and reestablish the MTV brand for the future.   To repeat what I said throughout the entirety of this project, I am not, nor will I ever expect to be associated with and employed by MTV and its parent company, Paramount Skydance. This is part of #projectmtv, a fan-made MTV rebranding project. This is not happening in any form, but it's fun to dream. And this was a fun project to create. While a lot of what I wrote can be lost in the ether, here are the chapters of #projectmtv: PROLOGUE: I Want My MTV Explaining the Science Reintroducing MTV: Music Television Presenting MTV Generation Presenting MTV Palladia Presenting Club MTV The FAST Lane The Rebirth of Liquid Television License to Survive Questions and Final Thoughts Reinventing MTV: A Visual Portfolio I even managed t...

Building A Better Media Conglomerate

Want to play a little game?  Back in the day when I was working full-time on TXB, I created a series of articles called "Imagine If." Essentially, reimagined scenarios of media companies doing things they likely could have done in the past but decided against it.  Saban buying Funimation. Warner Communications keeping Nickelodeon. Ted Turner actually buying CBS. The USA Cartoon Express lasting beyond 1998.  Things like that.  This is no different.  I was given a challenge by reader and fellow AU scenario writer Chandler Ritter-Roberts over at Bluesky . The challenge?   Building a media company that could become a massive modern media conglomerate.  #BuildYourAltConglomerate, as his hashtag goes.  I could create a company as big as I want to counter what two of the biggest media companies, Warner Bros Discovery and The Walt Disney Company, could do and create a realistic media empire.  The one caveat in this game? While every media compan...

The Mountain Wrecker

 I have seen a madman completely destroy a major American institution to build a bloated, gaudy monument to themselves thanks to billionaire friends largely flipping the bill.  But this article is not about what the current Administration has literally done to the White House.  This is about how David Ellison destroyed Paramount to create a media empire that conservatives have only dreamed about thanks to his billionaire daddy largely flipping the bill, radically changing CBS News into a conservative-leaning propaganda group and canceling The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.  Even after that, he wants to buy a second, much larger media company, Warner Bros Discovery, to solidify himself as the Big Media Thanos that rules Hollywood and the complete backing of the Administration. Let me be abundantly clear.  I don’t want ANYBODY to buy Warner Bros Discovery. At all.  I don’t want Comcast to buy them. I don’t want to see a tech company like Netflix, Amazon, or ...
