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!
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:
