| | CNN.com - Doug Herzog, Dan Cortese on MTV's 20th - August 2, 2001 |
 | | Herzog: Well, there was a time when MTV was doing nothing but reality-based programming beyond the videos, and the networks, you know, weren't just interested in that, and they weren't interested in the form at all. |
 | | MTV never grew old with it's audience, and it remained very true to a very specific demographic, young people, you know, pretty much between the ages of 12 and 34, or 18 and 24 more specifically. |
 | | And whatever the trend was, MTV would try and lead it, follow it at the same time, but it would cycle their audience out, and they weren't afraid to let their audience go, and cycle in new young people, you know, with each given year, and they still remain very vibrant that way. |
