Changes afoot

we're pausing the pure "vote to get on TV" program for now and working on a better way to help deserving new bands get a break on TV. We hoped that voting would help great undiscovered bands percolate to the top but gaming a voting system proved too easy... To insure interesting talent get on air and provide a good viewing experience we're going to make voting one component of how videos are chosen. Big changes are coming here this month!

For those outside Comcast TV markets...

Most of the videos that get on Music Video Spy TV are our personal favorite new works from signed independent artists. Some of them are truly inspired works of art.

We set up MVspy.com to add an extra democratic flavor to our TV line up and so any artist in the world has the ability to get their work seen on TV by getting a few of their friends and fans to vote them there.

Some of the videos submitted online are impressive (impossible to tell them apart from catchy, polished label sponsored productions) and others are so raw that it's hard to imagine an audience for them. It's no surprise that some seriously bizarre stuff gets on air from the web...

For those of you without access to Comcast digital TV, here's a list of some of the videos airing on Music Video Spy TV right now:

Artic Monkeys

New Charts!

Following your suggestions we just put up charts to make it easier to see which vids are on deck to go on air. Pretty nifty!
Right now a handful of registered votes can move a lot of vids from off air to one of the top 20 slots.

Howdy. In case you were wondering - the contest date was extended this month so we could synch up the with the actual calendar month. Makes it easier for everyone to keep track of the contest dates. The first batch of winners from the first month's contest will go on air in about 3 weeks.
