  MTV - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
MTV (Music Television) is a cable television network headquartered in New York City.
MTV executives countered by claiming that there were few—if any—promotional videos available from fl and other minority acts, although artists such as Diana Ross and The Jacksons had been making music videos before MTV existed.
MTV received a heavy load of criticism from the religious right in the 1980's and parent-media watchdog groups over certain music videos had "graphic and sacrilegious imagery" of satanism and the devil.

 Film Threat
This past Friday, I saw what I thought was one of the worst films of the year, a big-budget sci-fi/action-adventure picture starring Charlize Theron (in a role she was paid 10 million for) entitled AEON FLUX.
According to MTV Films, at that time, Paramount would not have empowered them to make a picture on that scale back then (though it seems AEON FLUX was an attempt to do something in that genre now).
But in an era of branding, where films with built-in fan bases are fast-tracked, and opening weekends are more important than ever as movies have huge drops in their sophomore frames, MTV Films is a conduit for original material to compete in a crowded marketplace.

She claimed in an interview with MTV that she needed a way of topping Busta's manic performance without compromising the intelligent woman she has become.
In December 2005, news spread that Blige had landed the starring role in the upcoming MTV Films biopic on Nina Simone.

 David Gale, MTV Films
Ten-year-old MTV Films enjoyed its biggest opening ever when "The Longest Yard" bowed over the four-day Memorial Day weekend to $58.6 million.
And now that Tom Freston, former CEO of MTV Networks, is co-president of Viacom, MTV Films is in an even stronger position to play a central role in efforts to revive Paramount Pictures' fortunes.
With "Napoleon Dynamite," the filmmakers made a great film, and what we brought to the table was a really cool marketing campaign that used the power of our channel to reach an audience that otherwise might not have noticed the movie.
